Naval Ravikant: Productise Yourself for Success

Naval Ravikant, a successful entrepreneur, says that to be successful, you should focus on what you naturally enjoy and are good at.

He calls this 'productising yourself.'

This means taking your unique skills and interests and using them in a way that can grow, like a product.

The goal is not just to work hard but to apply leverage to what you are uniquely good at.
