Zero to One : Reach to a New Height

Peter Thiel is one of the most interesting thinkers I have come across. This Book just lights a Fire, when it’s about entrepreneurship/ career growth.

Peter co-founded PayPal. He was an early private investor in Facebook and helped to start other billion-dollar companies like Palantir etc.

Quick Lessons, which I Applied & Now, You Can too:

Don’t compete, create a monopoly

• Competition isn’t good for business at all. It eats profits and creates a race to the bottom.
• Instead, try to build a monopoly product with such a deep moat that others can’t compete — like Google

Definite optimism

• Have a long-term plan for the future they execute and never waver from
• Steve Jobs — creating the iPod, iPad, and iPhone over the span of a decade
• This goes against thinking that should build a MVP and iterate your way to success.

Optionality is mediocrity

• Trying to be well-rounded & keep every option open kills success. So that when it comes to your career and business, you should hyper-focus on one area for a long time.

Zero To One

• Going from zero to one means you create ‘vertical technological progress’ meaning you create something unique that never existed before.
• Outside of IT, we’ve made little to no tech progress in the past few decades

Vertical Technological progress is the answer to a better future, not globalism continuing to copy what already exist.
