My First Million

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

Two Millimeter Shifts

Reusability

Small adjustments in approach that create massive changes in outcomes, like a golf club being 2mm off causing the ball to miss by 100 yards

How It Works

Small changes in angle or approach compound over time and distance to create dramatically different trajectories and end results

Components

1

Identify the small input that affects trajectory

2

Make precise micro-adjustments rather than major overhauls

3

Focus on angle/approach rather than effort level

4

Test and measure trajectory changes

When to Use

When you're getting poor results despite working hard, when you need course correction rather than complete strategy overhaul

When Not to Use

When fundamental strategy is completely wrong, when in crisis requiring immediate dramatic action

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Making massive changes when small tweaks would workFocusing on outcomes rather than inputsGiving up when far off target instead of finding the small shift

Example

A salesperson getting poor conversion rates might need to adjust their opening question by one sentence rather than completely changing their entire sales process
