Naval Ravikant’s 10 Principles of Wealth Creation
-
Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status
"Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is a zero-sum game."
-
Learn to Build and Sell
"If you can build, you can create. If you can sell, you can monetize."
The combination makes you unstoppable. -
Play Long-Term Games with Long-Term People
Compounding relationships and trust lead to long-term success in both business and life. -
Embrace Leverage
Use capital, code, or media to multiply your output without matching it linearly to time. -
Acquire Specific Knowledge
Find your unique edge—what feels like play to you and work to others—and double down on it. -
Become Irreplaceable by Being Authentic
"Escape competition through authenticity."
No one can beat you at being you. Lean into your unique talents and interests. -
Be Accountable to Reap the Rewards
Take personal risk and ownership. That’s how you build a reputation—and earn asymmetric returns. -
Learn to Love Reading and Learning
"Read what you love until you love to read."
Self-education is the path to understanding, leverage, and independence. -
Prioritize Judgment Over Effort
The ability to make the right decisions is more valuable than just working hard."Leverage magnifies judgment."
-
Play Infinite Games; Be Patient and Consistent
Focus on long-term games where you build, learn, and grow. Wealth creation takes time and consistency.
