      Latch on to a popular service, then simplify it for others. Self-described “professional nerd” Brett Kelly wrote Evernote Essentials, the first English-language manual for the popular Evernote software. Brett was hoping for a $10,000 payday over the course of a few months—enough to pay off some bills. Instead, he received $10,000 in two days… and then the sales kept coming.

      cc. David Perell's tweet about building a brand around a popular new tool where he cites Marie Poulin and Notion.

      Countless examples of this: Nat Eliason, Shu Omi etc. with Roam Research.

      What are one or two steps you’d take to surround yourself with successful people?Figure out what you’re good at, and start helping other people with it. Give it away. Pay it forward. Karma works because people are consistent. On a long enough timescale, you will attract what you project.

      You always get what you deserve

      Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.

      "You want to be the only person in the world who does what you do."

      Create a personal monopoly and you'll never have to compete

      The internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven’t figured this out yet.

      On the internet, even micro-niches are huge. You can benefit from this by writing online and attracting like minded individuals- reminds me of David Perell's idea of 'audience-first products'. Plus, going back to the earlier point of amassing assets that earn while you sleep, your writing basically networks for you while you sleep by putting a signal out into the world and connecting you with the people with whom your ideas resonate most deeply

      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.

      Wealth accrues from amassing assets (equity, brand, etc.) that earn while you sleep.
