My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Just-In-Time Learning
Learn skills and knowledge precisely when you need them for specific situations rather than trying to learn everything upfront
Decision Rule
When facing new challenge, learn minimum viable knowledge to proceed rather than attempting comprehensive preparation
How It Works
Reduces analysis paralysis, increases retention through immediate application, and prevents over-preparation that may not apply to your specific situation
Failure Modes
Learning too late when stakes are very high
Missing foundational knowledge that takes time to build
Making costly mistakes due to knowledge gaps
Appearing unprepared in professional situations
Example Decision
“Instead of taking months to study private equity before buying first business, learn due diligence basics when you have a deal under contract, then learn working capital management when you're about to close”
