不断重新定义你所做的事
不断重新定义你所做的事
成为你所做领域的世界最佳
Nivi：
我们讨论了努力工作和珍惜时间的重要性。接下来，有几条关于长期工作的推文。第一条推文是：“成为你所做领域的世界最佳。不断重新定义你所做的事，直到这成为现实。”

如果你真的想在这个世界上获得报酬，你就要成为你所做领域的第一名。可以是很小众的领域——这就是重点。你完全可以因为做自己而获得报酬。
世界上一些更成功的人就是这样。奥普拉因为做奥普拉而获得报酬。乔·罗根因为做乔·罗根而获得报酬。他们在真实地做自己。
你要成为第一名。并且你要不断改变你所做的事，直到你成为第一名。你不能随便选一件事。你不能说：“我要成为世界上跑得最快的人”，然后你必须击败尤塞恩·博尔特。这个问题太难了。
不断改变你的目标，直到它符合你的特定知识、技能组合、位置、能力、地点和兴趣。你的目标和技能应该汇聚在一起，使你成为第一名。
当你在寻找要做什么时，你心里要记住两个不同的焦点。一个是：“我想成为我所做领域的最佳。“第二个是：“我所做的事是灵活的，这样我就能成为其中的最佳。”
你要达到一个舒适的位置，在那里你觉得：“这是我能做得非常出色的事情，同时还能忠于真实的自我。”
这将是一段漫长的旅程。但现在你知道该如何思考这个问题了。
找到创始人-产品-市场契合
对任何公司来说，最重要的是找到产品-市场契合。但对任何企业家来说，最重要的是找到创始人-产品-市场契合，即你天生倾向于为某个市场打造合适的产品。这是一个三焦点问题。你必须让这三者同时发挥作用。
如果你想在生活中取得成功，你必须习惯于同时处理多变量问题和多目标函数。这就是那种你必须同时映射至少两三个焦点的情况之一。
Keep Redefining What You Do
Become the best in the world at what you do
Nivi:
We talked about the importance of working hard and valuing your time. Next, there are a few tweets on the topic of working for the long-term. The first tweet is: “Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.”
Naval:
If you really want to get paid in this world, you want to be number one at whatever you do. It can be niche—that’s the point. You can literally get paid for just being you.
Some of the more successful people in the world are that way. Oprah gets paid for being Oprah. Joe Rogan gets paid for being Joe Rogan. They’re being authentic to themselves.
You want to be number one. And you want to keep changing what you do until you’re number one. You can’t just pick something arbitrary. You can’t say, “I’m going to be the fastest runner in the world,” and now you have to beat Usain Bolt. That’s too hard of a problem.
Keep changing your objective until it arrives at your specific knowledge, skill sets, position, capabilities, location and interests. Your objective and skills should converge to make you number one.
When you’re searching for what to do, you have two different foci to keep in mind. One is, “I want to be the best at what I do.” The second is, “What I do is flexible, so that I’m the best at it.”
You want to arrive at a comfortable place where you feel, “This is something I can be amazing at, while still being authentic to who I am.”
It’s going to be a long journey. But now you know how to think about it.
Find founder-product-market fit
The most important thing for any company is to find product-market fit. But the most important thing for any entrepreneur is to find founder-product-market fit, where you are naturally inclined to to build the right product for a market. That’s a three-foci problem. You have to make all three work at once.
If you want to be successful in life, you have to get comfortable managing multi-variate problems and multiple-objective functions at once. This is one of those cases where you have to map at least two or three at once.
