Advantage

Shane Parrish : Nine sources of advantage: https://twitter.com/ShaneAParrish/status/1694672537983099249

  1. Raw talent/intelligence - Some people are just naturally better and smarter.
  2. Hard work - Some people work harder.
  3. Different - Seeing the world differently. Doing something different. Reading different books. Interpreting the same information differently.
  4. Process / Discipline / Rules - Creating a process and following it. Working out every day is a great example.
  5. Talent Collector - The ability to find/hire/retain the best people AND get the most out of them.
  6. Patience - A lack of patience changes the outcome. Can add endurance to this (and 7).
  7. Ability to take pain - Are you willing to look like an idiot to get better? How much risk are you willing to take, AND, importantly, can you handle the losses?
  8. Temperament - Keeping your head when everyone else is losing theirs.
  9. Luck
  10. Having the right partner - not only in business but, more importantly, in LIFE. The right partner will 10x your life. The wrong one will hold you back.
