You’re transported back to 1994 with all your current knowledge and $50,000. Your goal is to create the world’s biggest online shopping company.
How do you go about it?
As a further thought experiment, if you travelled back to 1960 with all your current knowledge and the goal of becoming the richest person on earth, what businesses would you start?
If I were transported back to 1960 with all my current knowledge, I wouldn’t try to get rich. I’d make sure I was set up reasonably well financially of course, but I wouldn’t bother getting rich. Once I knew I was set financially, I’d go all in on playing up the crazed but extremely accurate prophet angle. I do not dream of riches. I dream of acting weird on Ed Sullivan.
