This is such a great, succinct compilation of all the core points which Naval has made on his various Podcasts ( mainly How to get Rich on yt. ) and his tweets on X. Along with your own insights! 🌟

I really think you've actually absorbed these Phil, as you're actually doing them as well..

Point 11. Really is nostalgic for me.. I've been following naval for a long time now and this is quite a constant theme in many of his quotes and podcast that you need to productize yourself, get your hands dirty with both technical parts and selling to get true leverage. I always had a natural inclination towards programming, software development and technology but avoided the business and sales aspect of it. But I think if not for naval and a few other book like - 'Blue ocean strategy' ( completely unrelated thought ) I wouldn't have gotten my hands a little dirty with business and sales. I some years ago started with HighRank Digital Marketing startup along with my brother and programmed the website back then.. but got into sales, talking to clients and reading various marketing psychology - social proof, urgency and scarcity etc. - even you've highlighted Phil in point 30. .. will really look into that article as well!

I can really go on about but I think I'll stop ( don't want to make this too long ).. But I think all these ideas / quotes / points layed down by Naval are so grounded and real, they show up again and again in life.. many of them will feel detached to someone as they are reading it for the first time.. but I think they are very context depended, as in it they must be seen from where they are coming from ( I will really recommend anyone reading this great article by Phil to go listen to How to get Rich yt. Video on Naval's channel and then re read this post again every some time ) it will all come together and make a whole lot of sense!

Thanks for the invaluable post Phil. 💛💯🌟 .. this is such a succinct resource to come back to as a reference!

Hi Arvind, Thank you so much for your feedback and wonderful insights. It means a lot. Here’s a transcript of the 3 hour podcast on Naval’s “How to get rich (without getting lucky)” Tweet thread which I keep going back to. Have a fun weekend. Cheers, Phil…

Hi Sergio, With exam questions, we are advised to read the full question before we start answering it. It’s a bit like that advice. Yes, I love 38 too. Phil…
