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

Most business success comes down to intensity rather than intelligence

Evidence

Successful entrepreneurs consistently demonstrate extreme focus and execution rather than being the smartest people

Implication

Should hire and evaluate based on work ethic and persistence over raw IQ

Counter Belief

Some businesses require deep technical insights that only high-IQ individuals can develop

Example Application

Look for people who ship action items immediately and maintain consistent high-effort output rather than those with impressive credentials but slow execution
