Oct 18 P.S. - attaching my own list of great ideas that I’m planning to shamelessly clone… https://t.co/SSD7yFp5ZW 138 1 12 15.5k 107 .
Oct 18 OK you’re going to like this. A few months ago - I met the “Indian Warren Buffett”. Not only was he fun to hangout with (and really nice), but he has banger stories. Here was one he shared: I asked him how he built his $100M+ fortune, and he said “Two words…Shamelessly Cloning”. I love that phrase - ‘Shamelessly Cloning’. Here’s how he tells the story: 1/ Like all of us - when he’s young, he wants to be successful. 2/ One day, he reads a book by Tom Peters (a big management guru in the 80’s). The book says: humans are surprisingly bad at copying successful ideas. The book gives an example - the Story of Two Gas Stations . Imagine two gas stations are across the street from each other. Same concept: Gas station with snacks inside. ‍Owner A pays a guy $150 to make his signage look better, and gets brighter lights for the evening. ‍ Owner B looks at that and says: “Psh, what a waste of money”. Owner A’s traffic goes up a bit. Owner B shrugs it off. ‍Owner A walks outside every time he sees one of his regular customers, and does a complimentary window wash. ‍ Owner B thinks: “What an idiot. That’s not sustainable, you can’t do it for everyone. And they’re not even paying for it!” As time goes on, Owner A continues to make small improvements to his service. Eventually he’s making 2-3x more per week than the station across the street. Most people want to study what the smart owner does. But I think the more interesting question is: “why the heck is owner B not doing what he sees is working??” Is it ego? Ignorance? It’s obvious he should copy what’s working, but he doesn’t. Tom Peters argues that this is common. You can go to your direct competitors, and tell them all your trade secrets. Everything you’ve learned. They will listen to you but there will be no change in behavior. Mohnish thought this was ridiculous & made a promise to himself that he would become a great copier of great ideas. Picasso said: “Good artists borrow. Great artists steal”. Don’t get me wrong. There IS a bad way to copy. Don’t copy people’s art. I’d say the gas station owner shouldn’t copy the exact signage, but the idea of “I should make my business look more approachable too” and put his own twist on it. And in many areas of life, copying is positive-sum. For example: - Religion is people copying the morals/beliefs of others. They want you to copy them. - CrossFit is people copying the exercise habits of fit people. - Grandma’s delicious spaghetti recipe is a copy of someone else’s spaghetti recipe. You may not be the smart gas station owner who figures everything out. But you can choose to not be the idiot owner across the street. - Uncle Shaan 749 41 35 113.4k 2.7k .

Oct 11 I’ve been looking for mispriced assets in my daily life For example, what personality traits are undervalued?  Everyone wants to be smart. That’s fairly priced Here’s one answer: showmanship The more we’ve become bent-neck nerds, staring at phones, old school showmanship has become rare Quick story: I recently hired a basketball coach (It’s weird, I know. What 36 year old out-of-shape dude hires a basketball skills coach?) Well, because running on a treadmill makes me want to murder kittens, and playing basketball makes me happy.  Anyway, I show up for the session – and he’s already surprised… He normally trains NBA prospects…and here I am: a tech nerd with greying hair, wearing mismatched socks, and a Michael Scott style tank top jersey I do a little stretching, and he tells me to shoot a free throw so he can take a look at my form. He’s trying to figure out my baseline I step to the free throw line.. **dribble..dribble.. exhale…CLANK!** On purpose, I threw up the ugliest jump shot you’ve ever seen. I would have put Bo Outlaw to shame (deep reference for my NBA boys). My coach was stunned. I’ve never seen a face say so clearly: “what the hell have I got myself into” Then I paused before saying: “I’m just kidding man”… **shoots a normal shot, makes it** He busted out laughing. “Oh man, you got me. That was good. That was so good. That was my favorite moment at work this whole year. That’s funny.” It took 10 seconds, but just choosing to have a little showmanship, or playfulness, made this guys day. He told all his coworkers, and was still laughing about it the next session As adults, it’s easy to have all your playfulness, and showmanship beaten out of you. The world wants you to be serious But why? Why so serious? Everybody likes fun. But we act like doing fun things is wrong or inappropriate Baloney! Today - find a moment to play. Find a moment to do something with a little finesse. A little style. A little…showmanship!  - Uncle Shaan 867 26 68 97.9k 2k .

Sep 28 OK - here’s a short story that will make you a better leader/CEO. I just hired a new CEO for one of my companies. On Day 1 - he started doing what most CEO’s would do: - Meet & greet the team - Get access/permission to our tools - Start coming up with a Big Picture plan/vision to present to the team. I pulled him aside and told him about a different way that I learned from @natfriedman. Nat was named CEO of Github, and what he did on Day 1 was amazing. [8 am: everyone in the company gets on a call]. Instead of sharing the vision & multi-year plan. Nat screen-shared and displayed a giant list of 100+ issues & complaints from customers. He said: “Today, we’re going to find one item on here, and fix it” “And tomorrow, we’re going to pick another one, and fix that” “And the next day.. And the next.. Until we’ve nailed 20+ of these” This did 3 big things: 1) Shock Therapy. The team used to “think in quarters and years”. Suddenly the timeline shrinks to “ship something today”. 2) Taught Him The Business, Bottoms Up. Where are the problems? Where’s the tech debt? Which teams are good at getting shit done? 3) Action Speaks Louder. Customers were worried when Microsoft bought GitHub. Will they ruin it? Should we leave? But immediately seeing the product improve built faith that things will be OK. I call this the ‘Broken Shelf Approach’. Every home has broken shelves. The people living in the house have learned to ignore it, and just live with it. If you want to make an impression when you move in. Find the broken shelves, and fix them first. 1.9k 164 81 203.7k 1.6k .
