The Law of Service

What this means

Service is solving a real problem for a real person — not a market, not a persona, not a TAM slide.

The teaching

Service is the most underrated business strategy. It compounds because every person you genuinely help becomes a witness for your work.

Why it matters

Every person you genuinely help becomes a witness for your work. Service compounds.
