Key Takeaways
Adopt the 'Now Not How' philosophy by focusing on earning your first dollar immediately through your network rather than wasting time on business plans and legal filings.
Practice the 'Coffee Challenge' by asking for a 10% discount at a coffee shop to overcome the fear of rejection and build the essential business skill of asking.
Prioritize market selection and consistency; staying in a growing market for over a decade is more likely to yield significant wealth than frequent pivots or relying on pure intelligence.
