Introduction [0:00]
Kazuo Inamori suggests that there are four ways to make money quickly that have remained constant throughout history. The video aims to share these methods, which can significantly increase wealth for those who understand and apply them, especially for those unwilling to follow conventional paths or invest large amounts of time.
Information Gap [0:45]
An information gap exists when one party possesses more or more accurate information than others during a transaction, leading to greater benefits. This involves identifying trends and opportunities that others have not yet recognized. For example, Jeff Bezos capitalized on the information gap regarding the rise of the internet in 1994 by establishing Amazon as an online bookstore, which later became the largest online shopping platform.
Cognitive Gap [2:19]
A cognitive gap refers to understanding something that others do not, allowing one to profit from knowledge beyond their comprehension. Bitcoin in 2019 serves as an example, where early adopters who understood its potential profited significantly as its price rose. Kazuo Inamori emphasized lifelong learning, stating that wealth accumulation is tied to one's understanding of the world.
Execution Gap [4:03]
Execution is the ability to turn plans into reality. In the information age, ideas alone hold little value; the key is to act on them. Many people have numerous thoughts and ideas daily, but only a few are put into action. Overthinking leads to procrastination, while immediate action is crucial for success.
Competitive Edge [5:22]
Competitive edge is doing something better than others. In the information age, where access to information is widespread, the ability to offer extra value becomes crucial. This added value, beyond the product itself, is the core competitive edge. Examples include providing fashion advice when selling clothes or offering financial tips when selling real estate. Kazuo Inamori noted that consistent effort and dedication set remarkable people apart.
