🐻🚀 work hard for Exponential Growth, not Diminishing Returns!!! in the short-term, both look the same (long hours, lots of effort), but in the long-term, Exponential Growth is so much more better than Diminishing Returns!!
Examples of Diminishing Returns:
- work at a Big Bureaucratic Company, and go for a promotion, where you’re competing with 3 coworkers for the same 1 position, the harder you work, the harder they work, and the even harder you have to work, and it’s all for the same 1 position!!!!
- verb-focused work, where the 10,000th hour of work produces the same amount of value as the 1st hour of work, because you’re not building up advantage over time
Examples of Exponential Growth:
- build a Startup, and eat marketshare of Big Bureaucratic Incumbent, they may be 100,000x bigger than you initially, but that means you can grow 100,000x bigger, as you eat their marketshare
- asset-building work, where each hour of work builds up an asset, that gets more powerful over time, so the 10,000th hour of work leverages a 10,000x stronger asset, that didn’t exist at the 1st hour of work
Diminishing Returns lead to burnout, and so much wasted potential!! Exponential Growth leads to fulfillment, and huge happy impact!!!!
