Episode notes

Google acquired YouTube early on for a billion dollars back whenever I thought YouTube was a stupid idea because videos are a form of information and Google wants to organize all of the world's information. So how do you make something universally accessible? Well, one of the first things would be languages. But it goes more than that. You know, there's also mobile devices because a lot of the world doesn't actually have a laptop or a desktop computer. And then we also have like voice, which is you can search Google with voice now. It's quite fascinating when you read Google's letters to shareholders. They're constantly making advancements along this axis.

What problem are you solving? For who? With what solution? What makes your solution different? And most importantly: What would the perfect solution look like? These are the things you should be spending most of your time thinking about as an entrepreneur. NOT taking photos of your food, Gucci duffle bag, and shitty snakeskin loafers to get social media followers to think you're rich, and maybe buy your stuff. Right now the entrepreneur market is in a state of mass confusion. Why? I believe most people's targets and goals are vague undefined entities. And when you build a mind, business, and strategy based upon vagueness, you build nothing of value and cause confusion. This is why you need to think: What does perfection look like? Defining the perfect solution your customers would dream of in a world unconstrained with today's reality will open your eyes to what they really want. Your goal should be to make progress towards it. Innovation begins here!
