Why is Reverse-Engineering Like a 7-figure Consultant Important?

  • It helps us solve problems in the best ways possible. Rather than finding an idea, simply solve problems that others are aware of.
  • Most time spent solving problems is spent defining it.
    • If someone is doing exactly what you want to do in your industry, reverse-engineer the steps they took to get there.
    • Thinking By First Principles is great for solving new problems that nobody else has solved.

      • What Reverse-Engineering Like a 7-figure Consultant Looks Like

      It is essentially reasoning by first principles.

      1. We can start by understanding the assumptions we have towards solving a problem implanted by:

      • Authority Figures
      • Emotions
      • Groupthink
      • Cognitive Biases

        • 2. Use Socratic Reasoning
 on Assumptions to Find Fundamental Truth:

        • Find the origin of the assumptions by asking the “5W’s and How.” Also, by asking “Why” repeatedly.
        • Challenge assumptions by looking for evidence, alternatives.
        • Explore what would happen if assumptions were wrong.

          • 3. Build A New Solution

          Solve the problem based on the way you designed it.

          (It may look strange and new to others.)
