IT'S LIVE. 🎯 The first framework from Pillar 1: Decision Engine just dropped. FIRST PRINCIPLES THINKING This is the framework that: Elon Musk used to build SpaceX (when everyone said reusable rockets were impossible) Charlie Munger credits for making Berkshire Hathaway decisions Helped Airbnb pivot from air mattresses to $100B company It's how you break down complex problems to foundational truths and rebuild solutions from scratch. QUICK NOTE: I know this isn't Monday. 📅 The official schedule is: New framework every Monday. But I wanted to give you a glimpse of what's coming. Today: Pillar 1 & Pillar 2 drop + 1st Framework Starting next Monday: We resume the regular weekly schedule (one framework per week, rotating through all 8 pillars) For now, you get early access. Let's run it. WHERE TO FIND IT: 📍 Go to Classroom 📖 Find "Pillar 1: Decision Engine" ⚡ Open "First Principles Thinking" lesson WHAT'S INSIDE: ✅ The one-line truth (what this framework actually does) ✅ When to use it (specific situations where this works) ✅ 7 decision rules (IF-THEN-BECAUSE format - no fluff) ✅ Complete execution checklist (Today/Week/Month actions) ✅ Real business example (First Principles pivot with numbers) ✅ 7-day experiment (test this in YOUR business THIS WEEK) ✅ Common mistakes (what NOT to do) ✅ Related frameworks (how to stack this with others) YOUR MISSION THIS WEEK: Don't just read it. RUN IT. 1️⃣ READ the framework (20 minutes) Pick the challenge you're facing right now. 2️⃣ RUN the 7-day experiment (this week) The lesson includes a complete experiment template: ▸ Hypothesis: What you're testing ▸ Setup: How to prepare (Day 0) ▸ Daily actions: What to do Mon-Fri ▸ Measurement: How to track results ▸ Success criteria: What counts as success 3️⃣ POST your results (by Sunday) Go to 🧪 Active Experiments Use this template: WEEK 1 EXPERIMENT: First Principles Thinking Business context: [What you're building] Challenge I applied it to: [Specific decision/problem]

Soon, we're dropping the first two pillars of The Billionaire Lab. PILLAR 1: THE DECISION ENGINE 10 frameworks to think better, decide faster, and be less wrong. PILLAR 2: THE OPERATOR 10 frameworks to master yourself before you master business. Each framework includes: → When to use it → IF-THEN-BECAUSE decision rules → A 7-day experiment you can run THIS WEEK → Real business examples → Execution checklists Here's how this works: Starting Monday, we release ONE framework per week. Not 20 at once. Not a fire hose of information. One framework. One week. One focused experiment. This week's framework: First Principles Thinking Next week: The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) Why one per week? → You can't test 10 frameworks simultaneously → Weekly rhythm creates accountability → Community discusses the same framework together → Depth > breadth What to do before tonight: 1. Complete the "How Everything Works" course in Classroom (if you haven't) 2. Think about ONE decision you're facing this week 3. Be ready to pick a framework that applies to that decision What happens soon: → Pillar 1 goes live (10 frameworks) → Pillar 2 goes live (10 frameworks) → This week's framework spotlight drops (First Principles Thinking) → You get 7 days to test it and post results The goal: By the end of the week, everyone in this community will have tested First Principles Thinking on a real business decision and shared what happened. Not theory. Not motivation. Just results. That's how we build better judgment. See you team :) P.S. - First person to post an experiment result by Friday gets featured in next Monday's framework release.
