    How Immigrants Make for the Most Successful Entrepreneurs

    There's this story of two fish swimming in the ocean. A larger fish comes by and says, "The water is nice today." As they swim past that larger fish, the two little fish look at each other, and they go, "What's water?"

    This story highlights two immigrants coming into this country, understanding where they are. This is the land of opportunity in America. I know I'm in the water, and I'm going to make the most out of it. Whereas the majority of people in America who are born here don't even get the context of where they are.

    Scarcity creates resourcefulness. But we have been living in the land of abundance and have gotten to the point where we're so spoiled. We think the minor things that are happening to us in life are big deals. We're creatures of comfort. Then now that things are shut down, people are freaking out. But there's no need to freak out because people have experienced way worse than this.

    The Future of Business Development is Community Creation

    The way you scale is via content. Provide stages for people in an audience. And if you can capture that in content and redistribute that, it then becomes a self-feeding machine.

    There is creating content for yourself creating content for others. But the magic is when you are sharing the stage with brilliant people, and you're both adding value to each other.

    The Venn Diagram of Relationship

    • Enablement - how you introduce yourself to somebody you want to meet
    • Value exchange - how you make the information that you're giving somebody valuable,
    • Content laid on top of that
    • Where all those things meet is a community driving ball of value.
