• (n hours of Work == n hours of Output)

- The real world is Non-linear.

-Thus...

Nuggets at it again. Blessing my life. Escaping the 9-5 is the way

[NomadicRuss]

This is genius. Excited to work on working for myself.

[liannevalle]

4:54 WOW I wonder if this will truly come to fruition. This definitely motivates me to be a solopreneur even more.

[aguy]

I hope Naval is right about where work is headed.

[tomh]

Thats awesome again, great. Especially the graphic is really good.

[johnypanta]

Nice conversation but it gave 0 advice of how to escape 9-5

[rushanejclarke]

This guy gets it, time for a change. Days of 9-5 need to be changed.

[BenvolioCapulet]

If everybody’s selling

Who’s making?

[nayb]

Hmmm. Sell the IDEA of how to escape the 9-5. Give no practical information. Fill description with affiliate links/courses etc. Get those YouTube views and commisions. Good plan.

[aaron.protein]

“Asses feedback” should be “Assess feedback” lmao

[mm_DREAM]

Hey just a random question that came to my mind .. how do you earn as all these interviews might have some kind of copyright ..plz share . Btw you're channel is a hidden gem

[nagsage]

Smaller the company the happier is complete non sense. You get overloaded with work and exhausted. Working for a larger company gives you more of a work life balance. That’s my personal experience

[YumYumFruit]

Advice for your channel take it or leave it. I observe you are huge Naval & Tim Ferris fanatic which is fine. Though these guys articulate high performance well they aren’t the highest performers. So I would challenge you to pick other perspectives outside these intellectuals. For example can you draw parallels between two perceived different perspectives. For example is Naval that much different than let’s say Tony robbins. Both high performers with different narratives of success. But are they really that different?

[JohnDoe-odpu]

What does Naval mean when he says leverage?

[DanDascalescu-dandv]

You might want to hire an editor to catch typos like "Asses" or "Nava"
