0:00.0	I think you can beat 99% of people, not by beating them in every possible facet, but just picking one thing to beat them on.
0:06.0	And that's how you can win in competition. Now, if you can do more than one, you dominate.
0:12.5	What's going on, guys? This will be either the absolute best video ever see, the worst video ever see, or somewhere in between.
0:24.7	So, what's it? You can beat 99% of other businesses if you only pick one thing to beat them on. Now, if you can beat them in two
0:29.9	vectors, you become a possible. But there's four that you can compete on. All right. And so that's
0:34.3	what we're going to talk about. Now, the first of the four vectors is
0:38.5	speed, right? How do I do what I'm going to do faster than everybody else? Now, what's
0:44.3	interesting about this is that I have been doing business for a minute now. And I would say that of the
0:49.7	four vectors, I'm starting with speed because I actually think it's the most important of the four.
0:54.0	And I think the reason for that is that humans learn behaviors with D.C., vectors, I'm starting with speed because I actually think it's the most important of the four.
0:59.2	And I think the reason for that is that humans learn behaviors with decreased latency,
1:06.0	meaning if like Facebook and Instagram or whatever you're watching this on like has trained us to come back, not because they pay us to come back, because they have compressed latency for
1:12.0	some positive outcome. And the positive outcome they give us is a thumbs up. They literally
1:17.2	give us a little red light. And other people give actual money, but at a delay, and they
1:22.0	struggle to get people to do things. So think about it like this. You pay someone who works for you
1:26.8	every two weeks. it's much harder to
1:29.4	motivate them than if you actually paid them in real time and paying someone in real time is actually
1:34.8	so effective it's illegal and so truckers for example used to be able to get paid per mile
1:41.9	and like almost essentially in real time.
1:44.5	And so they actually outlawed it because guys would just keep driving to the point of like insanity and wouldn't sleep for days and it was unsafe.
1:53.3	All right.
1:53.5	That's how powerful speed is because that is what trains behavior.
