• Don’t outsource your math
88% of X

• Wait for the earnings report
• Does not mean your slice is 88%
• Revenue share
• Want 50% of Y or 50% of Z?
• Name your price
• Want 1 X or 2X?
1 + 1 = 3
• When banks compete, you win…
• 2, 3 and 4 are all > 1
• Knowing someone is on your tail makes you work harder
•Olympics every day
• Use judgment to pick top athletes out of 300
• Use competition to find who wins for you
• Hold your competition today, tomorrow, next week, next quarter, next year…

Don’t Outsource Your Math& Just Do It

• Just Do It
• Stop analyzing. Stop thinking, just do it
• Testing = knowledge = leverage = winning
