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