  1. Attention is the new oil: The wealthiest individuals in the world today are building their fortunes on attention, not just energy or resources. Attention is a scarce resource that is being captured, held, and multiplied by entrepreneurs, influencers, and celebrities.
  2. Leverage is key: To build a successful business, you need to have leverage. There are four types of leverage: labor (your time and effort), capital (other people's money), code (software and technology), and media (message and audience).
  3. Compounding leverage is key to success: Compounding leverage refers to the ability to multiply your efforts over time, creating a snowball effect. This is what allows successful entrepreneurs to build massive fortunes.
  4. The power of media: Media is a key component of leverage, as it allows you to reach a large audience and compound your efforts. Successful entrepreneurs use media to build their brand, create content, and monetize their attention.
  5. Building an audience takes time: Building a large and loyal audience takes time, effort, and perseverance. Successful entrepreneurs like Kylie Jenner, Huda Beauty, and Mr. Beast have spent years building their brand and audience.
  6. Authenticity and consistency are key: To build a successful brand, you need to be authentic and consistent in your message and actions. Successful entrepreneurs like the Rock and Conor McGregor have built their brand through consistency and authenticity.
  7. The importance of patience: Successful entrepreneurs understand the importance of patience and waiting for the right moment to monetize their attention. They also understand that the game has changed, and attention is the new oil.
  8. The need for diversification: Successful entrepreneurs like Rogan and the Rock understand the importance of diversifying their attention across multiple platforms and markets. This allows them to capture a larger audience and compound their efforts.
  9. The future of entrepreneurship: The future of entrepreneurship is likely to be built on attention, with successful entrepreneurs building their fortunes by capturing, holding, and multiplying attention.
