My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Anyone can achieve extraordinary results if they're willing to do more work than competitors

Evidence

Personal experience going from Division III athlete to elite marathoner through training volume

Implication

Talent and natural ability matter less than work ethic and persistence

Counter Belief

Some people have genetic or circumstantial advantages that can't be overcome through effort alone

Example Application

Instead of focusing on finding naturally gifted employees, build systems that reward and support those willing to put in extra effort
