I never wanted to find a solution to any problem — I prefer to find the solution.
By that, I mean reaching a core, underlying architectural understanding and then discovering the truth within it.
So that I’m never in doubt again.
We live in a society built on voluntary cooperation.
Last night, I was driving back home around 1 a.m.
I saw many people sleeping on the roadside.
I asked myself: Why do they have to sleep here?
On the other hand, Ambani lives a kingly life.
What’s the core difference?
What are these people not doing that has led them to the streets — and may keep them there for life?
What does Ambani know that allows him and his family to remain the richest in the country across generations?
I have nothing against Ambani or any other wealthy individual.
I simply want to understand — deeply — what they know and practice that makes them rich and powerful.
Because I want to be rich and powerful too.
It took me almost 12 years to find the answer.
And the answer is: voluntary cooperation.
Ambani is able to transact and cooperate with over a billion people — through Jio and his other businesses.
He provides what billions of people want, through a massive network of people and technology that deliver it efficiently.
But at its core, it’s simple:
He is one man transacting with a billion others.
And those people are happy to pay him for the product or service they receive.
That’s how you become a billionaire — and stay one.
Create something billions of people want, and are willing to pay for.
They don’t care about how hard you work, how much energy you put in, where you come from, your religion, your gender, your broken family, or your loneliness.
The only thing that matters to the person on the other side of the transaction is: "Does this solve my problem?"
Never forget this.
