The Input & Output Hypothesis 

The Input & Output Hypothesis 

1) Naval Ravikant talks about the Input Output Hypothesis

2) To become Wealthy one needs to be mindful of his input and output connection

3) For example a rickshaw puller sweats a lot, works hard and so does a pilot. So while their inputs are similar their outputs are not

4) A Pilot earns a lot more

5) Most people work from 9 to 5 but a clerk earns less while manager or supervisor makes more money

6) Therefore People invest in themselves by acquiring education that gives them high paying jobs

7) To get a better output for the same input one needs to be famous

8) There are many good singers, but only the famous ones create wealth

9) There are many good cooks but a few become Wealthy Chefs

10) You cook in a dhaba you earn little but if you cook In a 7 Star hotel, you become Wealthy

11) To reach the 7 Star Hotel, you may need skills, connections, education, personality, character and values – You need to attract the world like a magnet

12) Building your Brand makes you a magnet

13) How does one enhance output

14) Enhancing output for the less input is known as Leverage

15) Education is leverage, tools like owning a brand, software, machine, premise are examples of tools

16) Having a team is a huge leverage

17) Having capital, borrowing ability, ideas, creativity are all tools

18) Being a great investor is perhaps the biggest leverage

19) Releasing locked up illiquid asset and putting it to work is a leverage that most people do not understand

20) Expansion of output will happen if

a) Th input belongs to someone else (team, machine, attracting people to work under your magnet (brand) known as franchisee, your money (capital)

b) When your output is valued more – famous doctor, cook, artist, singer, director, dancer and so on

21) Businesses and Opportunities are always equal

22) How we make use of the Opportunities defines our Wealth Creating Ability

23) We can choose to sell a flat or a mansion. Selling a mansion will take the same time but will be more rewarding

24) To have the ability to sell a Mansion would need more skills and connections

25) So ultimately the Asset that matters is YOU

26) How you NURTURE the YOU is directly connected to your Wealth Creating Ability

27) So the Formula for Wealth Creation is (Knowledge (Skills) x Brand x Capital x Team x Technology)

28) You save time and energy when you send your team /  your money / your machine / your intellectual property / brand   to work

29) The journey to wealth creation is you ability to generate passive income

30) Take the case of a cricketer – First he needs to play well and become a star, then he gets a chance at commentary (less efforts), he can then start a column, podcast (still less effort ) and finally somebody else starts writing and podcasting for his brand (no effort)
