Key Takeaways
Identify the 'main thing' your business must master to win and either become a world-class expert at it or recruit someone who is.
Utilize 'the great lock-in' by committing to extreme focus and manual effort for at least 12 months to generate unstoppable momentum.
Hire A+ talent because their value is often 10x-100x that of an average employee while their cost is usually only marginally higher, creating a massive arbitrage opportunity.
