"This designer spent [--] years building [----] failed prototypes. He remortgaged his house and sank $1M into debt. Every major manufacturer rejected his design. This is how James Dyson launched alone and turned a bagless vacuum into a $15B empire: In the late 1970s James Dyson was just a frustrated guy with a clogged vacuum. His Hoover kept losing suction because of its dust bag. Instead of buying a new one he asked a question nobody in the industry was asking: "Why do vacuums need bags at all" Then while visiting a sawmill he noticed industrial cyclones spinning dust out of the air. He rushed"

"Peter Thiel on why the best businesses never compete: "Most people believe that capitalism and competition are synonyms. I believe capitalism and competition are antonyms." His point is simple: "A capitalist is someone who's in the business of accumulating capital. A world of perfect competition is a world where all the profits are competed away." Peter explains that the most important distinction in business is one nobody talks about enough. "There are two kinds of companies in this world. There are companies that are competitive and there are companies that have monopolies." His go-to"

"Legendary Sequoia Capital partner Doug Leone shares an unexpected take on what makes a great entrepreneur: "If you're desperate it's a great asset. If you have too many choices in life it clouds your thinking. When you only have one way to go and that's forward it's very easy. You just go. Failure truly is not an option." That kind of focus often comes from founders who haven't followed conventional paths people who have done "quirky things" and taken risks. Doug also reveals a "little secret" for spotting these founders: "We look for people that solve a problem that they have. They don't"

"Apple CEO Tim Cook has a counterintuitive philosophy for achieving excellence: stop following the rules entirely. "I think you should rarely follow the rules. I think you should write the rules." When asked about when it's okay to break the rules @tim_cook reframes the question itself as flawed. He explains: "If you do follow things in a formulaic manner you will wind up at best being the same as everybody else. Maybe you missed something and you're a little worse. And if you want to excel you can't do that." Tim has seen this play out repeatedly in business: "I've watched a lot of companies"
