    How To Get Rich (without getting lucky) - By Naval Ravikant

    I came across this Twitter thread. Thought it was absolute genius and wanted to share with other Fastlaners: Naval on Twitter There are so many great nuggets of wisdom here! Enjoy! :)

    Industry Disruption / Disruptive Innovation

    I highly recommend reading all of Clayton Christensen's books; they're excellent. One thing I've noticed is that people conflate causing a ruckus/head on competition with "disruption". Disruption was initially a term coined to describe a new technology which was cheaper to create but worse...

    Physician to writer to entrepreneur & halfway there

    INTRO 
    This is what I think and it's what I've observed. It's hard to believe that doctors can make successful businesses, but there are a lot of us. For some reason the typical doctor thinks they're different to the rest of society. But we're all playing the game by the same rules, no matter...

    When I said "the top", I meant the top of a given field, where you get leverage and your own department to run. I was 30 when I got my own clinic for example. I concede I don't know much about how things are run in the US. But in the UK all the business stuff is done mostly by doctors (see...

    I'm calling you out on stuff which is wrong. This forum has a lot of straw man threads along the same lines: Should I go to college or not? Should I learn to code or not? Should I start a business or get a job? The point is that most of these things are inert. A medical degree is also...

    This is complete BS and you know it. It just depends on the poor decisions some doctors make in career choices. Funny how my experience as a physician is so different to yours isn't it?

    I always find it odd when doctors I meet complain about their circumstances. I'd say that the majority of doctors are just as poor at making life choices (despite our "education") as the general population. Here are some facts about being a doc: You earn a crap ton of money pretty quick...

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    What would I tell my 25 year old self? I would probably ask my 25 year old self what he would tell my 18 year old self. He probably wouldn't give very good advice... Point is that advice is over rated. We live in an imperfect world, making imperfect decisions, with imperfect data...

    Anyone else notice that McDonalds is making a *killing* lately?

    HOT! 
    I had a McDonald's experience earlier this week. I got up at 6AM and since my schedule was so full I forgot to eat. I had to catch a train at 8PM for a sales meeting the following day and got to my destination at 11PM. Let me tell you, when I saw those golden arches at the train station I was...

    You guys are too hard on Higher Education, in my opinion. Here’s why.

    HOT! 
    Lol, I am a physician! :rofl: (But, I'm not going to hand over my future to an employer!!) I think you're arguing for the sake of arguing. Everyone agrees education has its place. The world does really need more (good) physicians. But you are completely ignoring the fact that many many...

    You guys are too hard on Higher Education, in my opinion. Here’s why.

    HOT! 
    @ChrisV I think there's a little bit of a misrepresentation here. I don't think anyone is saying that education is bad or evil. It has its place and a lot of the technologies we take for granted today came from Universities and very educated folk. The bigger picture that I got from...

    Has Amazon become a monopoly?

    HOT! 
    I think ironically that the business model of Amazon depends on it being a monopoly. If it's not a monopoly, then it can't provide its goods and services at the prices we have come to expect. After all isn't that why we all use it? My own business is hosted on AWS and without that service I...

    The power of story in sales, how Ziggy changed how I do business

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    The point isn't "Oh, if I make up a story, then people will give me more money for it.". The point is that the experiment proves how susceptible to story telling humans are. It doesn't matter if you don't like it or not, it's reality. And it is very likely that when you buy a product, you are...

    When selling a service to a medical facility, should I be cold calling administrators or the owners?

    I'm also in the health sector. The best way to figure out how to sell and who to sell to, is by seeing how others have done it. Try to find out how the other products and services in your market get sold; look at their websites, try to dig into industry specific journals. Another great way...

    I would say a good idea is 5% of the equation

    IDEA MINDSET RANT 
    My apologies. In my example I was meant to say that the Google guys thought of AdWords as a result of executing search (not page rank - duh!!).
