Key Insights from Founders' Biographies
After reading the biographies of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos, there's one thing that really stands out about these founders:
- They have a clear view of what the world will look like in 2+ years.
- This ruthlessly drives all their decision-making.
Importance of Trend Prediction
- Obviously, they had to be right about the trends they saw shaping the future.
- Once they had conviction on where their industry (or macro trends) were heading, they bet the farm on it.
- It drove their short, medium, and long-term decisions for the business.
Characteristics of Successful Founders
- Patience: They knew they needed patience.
- Resilience: They knew people would doubt them.
- Persistence: They knew they would fail a bunch of times.
Vision and Execution
- They kept that vision of where the world would be.
- They built a company (and products) that would thrive in that new world.
Future Outlook
I think the companies that are betting the biggest on AI will be the most successful. And it will all seem so obvious looking back in a few years.
