These Are the Two Fastest Ways to Build Your Career or Business
Success in business and career growth often seems like a slow grind, but what if you could speed up the process? In this episode of Pattern Cognition with Sid Mofya, we explore two of the most effective ways to fast-track your journey—without waiting for approval from others.
Drawing inspiration from Naval Ravikant’s insights on building wealth, we break down the concept of leverage—the key to multiplying your efforts for greater impact. There are two types:
1. Permissioned Leverage – Requires external approval, like raising capital or hiring a team.
2. Permissionless Leverage – Allows you to take action immediately, without waiting for anyone’s approval.
To accelerate your career or business, focus on permissionless leverage by mastering two essential steps:
1. Build a Valuable Skill
Your most powerful asset is your expertise. Unlike traditional pathways that require validation from employers or investors, developing a skill is entirely within your control. Whether it’s coding, writing, design, or sales, acquiring a high-value skill increases your ability to create opportunities on your own terms.
2. Create Distribution for Your Knowledge
Once you’ve mastered a skill, the next step is making sure people know about it. In today’s digital world, distribution is key. This could mean sharing insights through social media, starting a blog, launching a podcast, or producing videos. By consistently showcasing your expertise, you attract opportunities, collaborations, and even revenue streams—without needing permission from gatekeepers.
By focusing on these two strategies, you set yourself up for long-term success while maintaining control over your growth. Take action today—listen to the full episode to dive deeper into these game-changing insights.
