Small goals are for clarity. Break down your vision into goals by decade, year, month, week, and day. They are your guide, not your master. The labor theory of value is that you should be paid for the amount of work you do. But that’s not how reality works. The amount of money you make is directly correlated to how valuable you are: the level of problems you solve, the results from the solutions you create, and your ability to inspire and persuade people to know and care about your creation. ~Dan Koe It does not make sense to pay someone based on the amount of work they do, especially in a future where that work will be more efficient, worth less, and require fewer resources to complete. However, it does make sense to pay someone based on the level of problems they solve, as problems constantly evolve as work does. No matter how far technology goes, problems will continue to emerge. ~Dan Koe The fact of the matter is that you can work hard at anything, but that doesn’t mean it’s useful. You can put four years of work into getting a degree. You can put ten years of work into climbing a corporate ladder. You can put thousands of hours of blood, sweat, and tears into writing a book. And still, you may not be paid anywhere close to what you want, because hours worked does not guarantee that anyone will care. ~Dan Koe The world’s complainers are missing one crucial piece of the puzzle. People invest in things they care about, see the importance of, or consider useful for their lives. Nobody is going to give you, independently, money if your work doesn’t benefit them in some way. ~Dan Koe Money is a unit of value. Value is a measure of how much people care multiplied by the magnitude of problems you solve, and problems are infinite. Power is the degree to which one can change behavior. ~Dan Koe Persuasion is the act of inspiring people to see the importance of what you do by how it impacts their life for the better. If power is the degree to which one can change behavior, and behavior change is the root solution to both personal and global problems, then persuasion is the most ethical form of power anyone can develop. ~Dan Koe In business, you need a product—your value packaged in a way that others can benefit from—and a group of people who care about that product enough to buy it. As an entrepreneur, you are not only persuading one person but an increasing number of people over time. The way you get in front of those people is through social media. You can place your product in front of people, but if they can’t see why it benefits their lives, they won’t care about it. You can have what you believe is the most valuable product, but if you don’t place it in front of people, they don’t have a chance to care about it. ~Dan Koe The point is clear: You need people and a product. You attract people to that product with media. But neither of those things—media or product—are valuable in and of themselves. You need to package them up as an offer. You don’t ask people to pay you. You offer them value in exchange for another form of value. In the case of a product, it’s money. In the case of media, it’s attention. Both are valuable. Don’t waste people’s time. ~Dan Koe This pattern is reflected in relationships. You can place yourself in front of a group of potential partners, but if they can’t see where you fit into their life, they won’t care about you. You can believe you are the most developed individual, but if you sit inside all day, potential partners don’t have a chance to care about you. ~Dan Koe
