Evidence for Abundance

The End of Poverty (June 2013)

The Decline of Violence

“In primitive societies

15% of people died

violently; now 0.03% do…

“Violence is 1/500th of what

it used to be.”

- Prof. Steven Pinker, Harvard

Re-defining “Poverty”…

‣99% have electricity, water, flushing toilets & a refrigerator

‣95% have a television

‣88% have a telephone

‣70% have a car & air conditioning

In America today, those classified as poor:

This is far superior to Ford or Vanderbilt. We are redefining what we call ‘poor’.

“The New Kodak Moment”

In 10 years, it’s predicted that

40% of the Fortune 500 Companies

will no longer exist.

* Babson Olin School of Business, Fast Company April 2011, page 121.

The average lifespan of a company listed in the

S&P 500 has significantly decreased:

• In the 1920’s = 67 years

• Today = 15 years

Four Critical Insights… • 1st Insight: The only constant is change & the rate of

change is increasing.

• 2nd Insight: You either disrupt your own company/products,

or someone else will. Standing still = death.

• 3rd Insight: Competition is no-longer the multinational

overseas. It is the explosion of exponentially empowered

entrepreneurs.

• 4th Insight : Your “Mindset” matters, a lot...

Google’s Moonshot Thinking

Astro Teller – Chief of Moonshots

What is your moonshot?

What is one area of your business

where you should shoot for 10x

growth, rather than 10%?

1. Focus on the user

2. Open will win

3. Ideas come from everywhere

4. Think big, start small

5. Never fail to fail

6. Launch early and iterate

7. Be a platform, float all boats

8. Make it matter

Google’s 8 Innovation Principals

Lockheed Skunk Works

1st Jet (P-80) in 143 days (in 1943). U2. SR-71 Kelly Johnson

Kelly Johnson & GoogleX Rules

(1) Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP):

A Bold, Compelling Vision – “Win over Nazis”

(2) Small Teams: “The # of people connected to the project

should be restricted in an almost vicious manner.”

(3) Extreme Isolation: “Access by outsiders to the project

and its personnel must be strictly controlled.”

(4) Authority & Autonomy: “The Manager must have control

of his program on a day-to-day basis.”

(5) Flexibility: “You must provide a very simple drawing with

great flexibility for making changes.”

(6) Testing & Experimentation: “The contractor must test

product in the initial stages, and final product in flight.”

Kelly Johnson & GoogleX Rules

Billionaire “Thinking Strategies”: Thinking at Scale

1. Passion & Purpose

2. Rapid Experimentation

3. Customer-Centric thinking

4. Risk Mitigation

5. Long-term thinking

6. Optimistic thinking

Thinking at Scale: Passion and Purpose

“I didn’t go into the rocket business, the car

business, or the solar business thinking this is a

great opportunity. I just thought, in order to make a

difference, something needed to be done. I wanted

to have an impact, I wanted to create something

substantially better than what came before.”

- Elon Musk

Thinking at Scale: Experimentation

“The amount of useful invention you do is directly

proportional to the number of experiments you can run

per week per month per year. If you’re going to

increase the number of experiments, you’re also going

to increase the number of failures. You’ve got to be

willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.”

- Jeff Bezos

Thinking at Scale: Customer-Centric

“How do we decide what’s really important to work

on? I like to call it the ‘toothbrush test’: do you use

it as often as you use your toothbrush? I guess

that’s twice a day. We use Gmail & YouTube much

more than twice a day. Those things are amazing.”

- Larry Page

Thinking at Scale: Risk Mitigation

“Superficially, I think it looks like entrepreneurs

have a high tolerance for risk. But, one of the

most important phrases in my life is ‘protect the

downside.” - Richard Branson

Thinking at Scale: Long-Term Thinking

“ We will continue to make investment decisions in

light of long-term market leadership considerations

rather than short-term profitability considerations or

short-term Wall Street reactions…. we choose to

prioritize growth because we believe that scale is

central to achieving the potential of our business.”

- Jeff Bezos

Thinking at Scale: Optimistic Thinking

“I’m tremendously optimistic, I’m certain that

whatever challenges we take on, we can solve with a

little bit of concerted effort and some good

technology. And that’s an exciting place to be. [It

means] our job is really to make the world better. We

need to get better organized and move a lot faster.”
