The Intellectual Devotional: Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Roam Confidently with the Cultured Class
David Kidder's beliefs on the five lenses successful entrepreneurs use to look at the world:
1. Proprietary gifts
Successful entrepreneurs follow the commandment to “know thyself.” They can turn a critical eye inward and honestly evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Then, they use those strengths to create an unfair advantage for themselves.
2. Extreme focus
Entrepreneurs hone in on one goal and go after it. They’re brave enough to fail fast, say no to opportunities, and accept imperfect answers. They’re constantly testing and narrowing in. On the flipside, they’re also patient.
3. Painkillers, not vitamins
Entrepreneurs are on the lookout for a chronic pain to solve – preferable a chronic pain felt by rich people. Building a vitamin – a pet project or something that’s merely cool – won’t keep you alive in the long run. Follow the pain, and you’ll find your revenue, customers, and market.
4. 10 times better
Incrementalism is a path to nowhere. Instead of being a little better than your competition, be 10 times better. Find the linchpin that makes you radically different.
5. Monopoly
You have to accept the fact that growth is stupidly hard. So design ways to ensnare and suck in your customers. Add hooks and barbs wherever you can, so it’s difficult for customers to leave or forget you or switch to the competition.
