1. How to read a book a day
2. Think big. Multiply by 10. Surround yourself with people who think big
3. The science of human nature, and getting to the truth/data. Maybe an ugly website actually sells more than a pretty website. Try to understand why, and get at the data. Force yourself to always questions what is, and understand how people can be persuaded
