Naval Ravikant是印度裔的美國企業家、投資人,是AngelList的共同創辦人、董事長兼前執行長,成功投資了Twitter、Uber、Notion等知名公司。
Naval Ravikant在許多領域上都有深刻的見解,哲學、商業、技術、人生觀都有自己的一套理論,他曾在推特上發表過How to Get Rich without getting lucky?【不靠運氣的致富之道】其中含有39條推文,其中很多值得細細品嘗的觀點,就讓我們一起來看。
Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.
財富是在睡覺時也能為你賺錢的資產,應當做好規畫買入資產,而不是一昧地用時間換取金錢。
Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
學習各種技巧技能知識,增加自己的財富,如果不學習這些技能,那麼財富也不會從天上掉下來,自然就輪不到你。
Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.
在新聞媒體或是政治圈很多人在玩地位遊戲,通過抨擊他人來或取地位博取版面。
You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.
如同上面所寫道,擁有股權就是擁有財富,出賣時間能獲得地有限。擁有股權可能是自行創業或買進公司的股票,這些股權能在你睡覺時繼續為你帶來金錢。
You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.
提供社會想要但社會還不知道如何得到的東西,這往往是在某個領域深耕後發覺的痛點,能解決的痛點越大,能帶來的回報越多,
Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.
選對方向努力執行,在正確的賽道上才能跟著產業一同前進。
The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet.
網路的效應遠比想像中來得大,現在人人都可以成為自媒體,自己就一個新聞一個媒體,提高自己的影響力等於開闢更多可能性。
Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
複利很重要,生命不會白白走過,很多事情都是過去累積而來。
Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.
選擇強者,能更強。
Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
跟負面的人共事,會啃食精神。
Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
銷售很重要,貨出不去錢進不來;創造很重要,解決痛點至關重要。
Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.
獨特的知識、責任感、影響力就好比個人品牌。
Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for. If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
獨特的知識是探索自己過程中所內化的軟實力,而非可複製的技能。
Specific knowledge is found by pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion rather than whatever is hot right now.
如同上述所說,探索熱情及興趣的過程中往往可以得到更多沒想過的東西。
Building specific knowledge will feel like play to you but will look like work to others.
做起來像是在玩樂可以更專注更有熱情,若還找不到的話就不斷嘗試不斷猜測。
When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.
獨特的知識是內化而成的,並非有一套標準可以教育出來。
Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated.
獨特的知識無法被外包或自動化,可能是組織能力、觀察力或是分析能力,一切都要不停探索才會知道。
Embrace accountability, and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage.
用自己的名譽去冒險也是一種槓桿。
The most accountable people have singular, public, and risky brands: Oprah, Trump, Kanye, Elon.
列了非常多點,每一段話都值得思索,累積財富(非指金錢)以及學習獨特的技能是至關重要的。大家有什麼想法呢? 請留言與我分享。
