Why do they call you the dando investor?
00:00:01
It's a way of doing business and making
00:00:04
money without taking risk. Like for
00:00:06
example, Mr. Gates, Mr. Walt, Mr.
00:00:09
Branson, all of these people followed
00:00:11
these simple mental models. So if they
00:00:13
won, they would win big and if they
00:00:15
lost, they'd lose nothing.
00:00:17
So I want to know everything.
00:00:18
Okay, let's start with this. If humans
00:00:21
understood that if I embark on a
00:00:23
business in a format where the risk is
00:00:25
close to zero, more people would do it.
00:00:27
And that's what these mental model do.
00:00:29
For example, cloning. We are taught if
00:00:32
you want to start a business, you need
00:00:34
to come up with something new. But
00:00:35
actually, if you are a great cloner, you
00:00:38
will be 90% ahead of the rest of
00:00:41
humanity. And in fact, everything that
00:00:43
Microsoft has done well at has come from
00:00:45
copying someone on the outside. And then
00:00:48
there's time. When you're starting a
00:00:50
business, don't quit the day job because
00:00:52
some other yo-yo is paying your rent.
00:00:55
But it does mean that you need to find
00:00:57
time to work on your business. But I
00:00:59
will show you the perfect way to
00:01:01
allocate your time. And that's not all.
00:01:03
There's models like lowhanging fruit,
00:01:05
skin in the game, givers versus takers,
00:01:07
and the circle of competence. And I'll
00:01:09
I'll explain all of them.
00:01:11
What about investing? Cuz you're very
00:01:12
well known for being an excellent
00:01:14
investor.
00:01:15
There are three things that matter with
00:01:17
investing. And there's also something
00:01:19
known as the rule of 72, but I wish they
00:01:21
would teach it more in high school. And
00:01:23
it tells us how long it takes money to
00:01:25
double. Now, this is exciting.
