Naval's insights are a game-changer for anyone looking to create wealth without relying on luck. He's right that building wealth is more of a marathon than a sprint. It’s all about playing the long game and nurturing our unique skills, which can feel daunting at times, but that's where our success lies.

Naval is a Genius. The fact that he came up with these insights when content creation wasn't that big is amazing. The compounding effect - practicing delayed gratification - that's how to get rich without being lucky.

Naval Ravikant is one of my biggest inspirations! His advice is always so simple and to the point. Thank you for conveying his ideas in a nice format, I will be referring to this piece when I start mapping out my gameplan for January and beyond 🙌

Love this, thanks for sharing Stijn. Naval's advice is one of those things I need to revisit constantly.. there's so much wisdom packed into everything he says. This is a great post, saved this to my favorites so I can come back to it again and again.

Luck is only another excuse for most people to procrastinate. It has its role but there are other things that really matter.

I just read the book (the compilation) - so seeing this is timely. I literally, today, put what i learned into my business plan and business model. I'm using substack to distrbute my IP assets - my specific knowledge.
