They solve B+ problems instead of A+ problems. Peter Thiel had a strict rule at PayPal: Every person must focus on only one thing. No distractions. No multitasking. One mission. His logic? People naturally work on problems they know how to solve. It feels productive. It gives quick wins. But A+ problemsโthe ones that change industriesโare hard. You donโt wake up with an answer. You struggle. You procrastinate. And so, you avoid them. Keith Rabois, an early PayPal executive, explained it perfectly: โIf you have a company thatโs always solving B+ problems, youโll grow, but youโll never create the breakthrough idea.โ Thatโs why Thiel enforced extreme focus. He wouldnโt even discuss other work. Heโd say: โI donโt care how well youโre doing elsewhere. Solve this one problem.โ It felt limiting. It was frustrating. But it forced people to break through. So, ask yourself: Are you just crossing tasks off a list? Or are you banging your head against the hardest, most valuable problem every day? Breakthroughs donโt come from doing more. They come from solving the right thingโuntil itโs done. ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ผ๐ Vishu Bheda ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฝ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐น๐ฑ'๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐!
