Figure out what you’re uniquely good at, and apply as much leverage as
possible
</p>
<p>
<strong>Nivi:</strong> You summarized this entire tweetstorm with two
words: “<a
href="https://twitter.com/naval/status/1003356436091400192?lang=en"
>Productize yourself.</a
>”
</p>
<p>
<strong>Naval:</strong> Productize has specific knowledge and leverage.
Yourself has uniqueness and accountability. Yourself also has specific
knowledge. So you can combine all of these pieces into these two words.
</p>
<p>
If you’re looking towards the long-term, you should ask yourself, “Is this
authentic to me? Is it myself that I’m projecting?” And then, “Am I
productizing it? Am I scaling it? Am I scaling with labor or capital or
code or media?” It’s a very handy, simple mnemonic.
</p>
<p>
What is this podcast? This is a podcast called Naval. I’m literally
productizing myself with a podcast.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Nivi:</strong> You want to figure out what you’re uniquely good
at—or what you uniquely are— and apply as much leverage as possible. So
making money isn’t even something you do. It’s not a skill. It’s who you
are, stamped out a million times.
</p>
<p><strong>Find hobbies that make you rich, fit and creative</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Naval:</strong> Making money should be a function of your identity
and what you like to do. Another tweet I really liked was, “<a
href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Find+three+hobbies:+One+that+makes+you+money,+one+that+keeps+you+fit,+and+one+that+makes+you+creative&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8"
>Find three hobbies: One that makes you money, one that keeps you fit,
and one that makes you creative.</a
>”
</p>
<p>
I would change that slightly. I would say: One that makes you money, one
that makes you fit, and one that makes you smarter. So in my case, my
hobbies would be reading and making money, as I love working with
startups, investing in them, brainstorming them, starting them. I love the
ideation and initial creation phase around startups.
</p>
<p>
On the hobby that keeps you fit, I don’t really have one. The closest
thing I have is yoga, but that’s where I sort of fell apart. I think
people who, early in life, discover something like surfing or swimming or
tennis or some kind of a sport they continue doing throughout most of
their life are very lucky, because they found a hobby that will make them
fit.
