We should build valuable skills. Selling skills for example. If you can create a product, you also need someone who can market it and sell it to the public. Also, you can be that person for a partnership with someone else who creates the product. What would Apple be today without the marketing and branding skills of Steve Jobs? Specific knowledge comes from your passion.

7. Find and build specific knowledge/skills

Creating wealth is a skill. Not an identity. Naval is confident that even if all his wealth is taken away right now he will regain all of it in 10 years or less. Because creating wealth is a skill and fortunately, he has learned the skillset. You can too. Your way of creating wealth should include these three points.

1. You can get rich without getting lucky

Learn to create a product or learn to sell it. If you know how to do both, you are unstoppable.

4. Learn to create and sell

It means you should run after assets rather than money. The assets will in turn make money for you.

2. Run after wealth, not money

When the business is successful the founder along with those employees become rich. If you don’t have the ownership you only earn exactly proportionate to your time input.

5. Wealth is created by equity, not by selling your time

If you create a product that has lots of value for fewer people, it is as effective as a product with less value for more people. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-advice-to-companies-maximize-curve-of-customer-happiness-2020-4">Elon Musk calls it the area under the curve. </a>
