Okay that’s great, but does it prove out in life? It does in my own. All the money I’ve ever made can be traced back to three different ideas I had. One in 2011, one in 2014, and one in 2016. Once I had the idea, it didn’t actually take much work for it to start raining money.

Execution on new ideas that avoid competition is way easier than execution in a competitive old space. So maybe that saying is wrong. Success is more inspiration than perspiration.

I was kinda 50/50 on Thiel’s view here - plenty of people become successful reexecuting current ideas in a more efficient way / different angle. Are you able to expand on your own examples you refer to?

Really? What are some examples besides moving operations to lower cost countries?https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1258054826400907264 …

Sometimes there’s new efficiencies that can arise thru technological advancements eg desktop to cloud in software - same services, different fabric. Sometimes there’s new geographical markets to explore which provide more demand / less competition than ur domestic ones

I’m learning that rather than over critiquing your product, maybe invest more time assessing whether you’re fishing in the right sales channels

While cloud may look crowded now, I would argue that Dropbox (personal cloud) and AWS (b2b cloud) were competition-less when they got started. I feel like what you're saying and what Thiel's saying are pretty close.

Hmm maybe, tbf it’s a while since I read his book. Do you recommend anything to read re sales, esp in USA as a foreign supplier?
