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

Learning from experts is more efficient than self-directed learning for successful people

Evidence

Sean hiring AI tutors at $500/hour, Jess Ma hiring biology tutors to enter biotech

Implication

Successful people should budget significantly for expert-led learning rather than trying to learn everything themselves

Counter Belief

Self-directed learning builds deeper understanding and costs less

Example Application

Hire domain experts as tutors when entering new fields rather than reading books and taking courses alone
