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

Intelligence as unfair advantage

Evidence

Some people are born significantly smarter just like some are born taller, and this creates measurable performance advantages

Implication

Don't downplay intelligence when hiring - it's a legitimate competitive advantage like physical attributes in sports

Counter Belief

Hard work and experience matter more than raw intelligence

Example Application

Hire the smartest person available for CEO role even if they lack specific experience
