• Managing your own morale-and your team's morale-is one of the greatest challenges of most endeavors. It's almost impossible without a lot of self-belief.
• Most highly successful people have been really right about the future at least once at a time when people thought they were wrong.
• Give yourself lots of chances to get lucky.

• Convince others to believe in your vision
• Show up in person whenever it's important
• Make it easy to take risks
• Focus on things that might turn out to be really interesting
• Work hard
• Find your purpose and find yourself excelling at it
• Be a force multiplier
• Have stamina

• You can bend the world to your will a surprising percentage of the time-most people don’t even try, and just accept that things are the way they are.
• People who say "I am going to keep going until this works, and no matter what the challenges are I'm going to figure them out", and mean it, go on to succeed

• Build a network of talented people
• Help people as much as you can
• Have a reputation for pushing people hard enough that they accomplish more than they thought they could, but not so hard they burn out
• Define yourself by your strengths, not your weaknesses
• Hire complementary team members instead of just hiring people who are good at the same things you are

• The sooner you can start off in that direction, the further you will be able to go
• If you are born in extreme poverty, you have to claw your way up for awhile before you can take big swings
• Basic income will unleash more human potential by freeing more people to take risks

This can be a piece of a business, real estate, a natural resource, intellectual property, or other similar things. But somehow or other, you need to own equity in something instead of just selling your time. Time only scales linearly.

The best way to make things that increase rapidly in value is by making things people want at scale.
