Key Ideas:

• Sell to Rich People First: It's easier and more profitable to sell to wealthy clients initially because they are willing to pay more for less relative value. This allows you to over-deliver and build a business without needing massive infrastructure. You can then transition to a mass market later.

• Solve Rich People's Problems: When selling to the wealthy, focus on outcomes, risk, time delay, and effort/sacrifice. Rich people want things done quickly, with minimal effort on their part, and a high perception of a guaranteed outcome.
• Prioritize Effectively: Many businesses fail because they lack priorities, not information. Identify and solve the real problems in your business by clearly defining your goals, current state, desired state, and obstacles.

• Invest in Your Team: Have hard conversations and be willing to redefine roles to allow for better performance. Frame it as an investment in their future development and not a demotion.
• Focus on Being Better, Not Just Bigger: Prioritize quality over growth. Be significantly better than the competition. Better leads to bigger, but bigger leads to bloat.

• Build a Strong Brand: A brand is the association between something people know and something they don't. Build a brand by controlling what you say, what other people say, and what your customers experience. The customer experience is the strongest factor.

• Stop Looking for Hacks: Focus on the core objectives of a platform and not the trends. Put your effort into repeated bursts of work to achieve quality.  Quality comes from distillation and editing.

• Focus on Word-of-Mouth: Make your product so good that people can’t help but tell others. Wait to pour gasoline on the fire until your product is exceptional.
