Key Takeaways
Identify your 'trillion-dollar Venn diagram' by intersecting two or three rare skills to become a unique talent that is one-in-a-billion rather than one-in-a-million.
Target a digital business revenue of $20,000 to $30,000 per month with high automation; at a 4-5x multiple, this creates a million-dollar asset with minimal overhead.
Focus on 'slowmadding'—remote workers who stay in locations for months rather than weeks—as a high-end market for specialized housing and education products.
