The rules for making money in modern society are actually very simple. With a clear path and principle, you will find that money comes like the wind blowing in—

This statement may seem clickbait, but it is not false:

1️⃣ Fundamental Logic:

You must understand this: the ability to make money is not about who is more versatile, but about who can be a more focused specialist!

1) Focus on one thing: Concentrate on what you are good at and do it to the extreme!

2) Leverage: Use leverage (such as technology, capital, connections, etc.) to amplify your abilities or the influence of your product.

While considering this issue, I just saw Lao Xue share an article on Cai Shu's public account “Please Debate” that states:

Making money is about doing one thing well, doing it extremely well, and then finding ways to amplify its power—this is a very straightforward principle for making money, but many people do not do this and do not believe it.

Naval has also discussed this topic: “The creation of wealth in modern society comes from providing value that others need, so it’s relatively simple. You can specialize in a certain skill or knowledge and then amplify the value of that specialization through some form of leverage (code, media, capital). In the past, this was almost impossible, but now, as long as you are unique enough, you can be a media entity or a capital.”

2️⃣ Focus and Excellence Plus Leverage:

So, making money is very simple; it’s about executing along the simplest logic. The more factors you add that you need to handle yourself, the further away you get from success and the harder it becomes to replicate easily.

In simple terms, you need to create value through focus and excellence, and then make money through some form of leveraged amplification.

From a methodological perspective, for instance, if focusing on self-media writing and video production is your point, then emerging industries (like AI or Crypto) or certain people who are genuinely willing to help you are your leverage. The emerging industries are because, with the same effort, your opportunities and potential returns are more than a hundred times those of non-emerging industries. Additionally, people willing to guide you can help you avoid ten years of detours, which is very important!

So I say, as long as you enhance your unique skills and make good use of leverage, it will be very easy to carve out a path and making money will be a very natural thing!
