Why is Reverse-Engineering Like a 7-figure Consultant Important?


It helps us solve problems in the best ways possible. Rather than finding an idea, simply solve problems that others are aware of.
Most time spent solving problems is spent defining it.

If someone is doing exactly what you want to do in your industry, reverse-engineer the steps they took to get there.
Thinking By First Principles is great for solving new problems that nobody else has solved.



What Reverse-Engineering Like a 7-figure Consultant Looks Like

It is essentially reasoning by first principles.

1. We can start by understanding the assumptions we have towards solving a problem implanted by:


Authority Figures
Emotions
Groupthink
Cognitive Biases

2. Use Socratic Reasoning
 on Assumptions to Find Fundamental Truth:


Find the origin of the assumptions by asking the “5W’s and How.” Also, by asking “Why” repeatedly.
Challenge assumptions by looking for evidence, alternatives.
Explore what would happen if assumptions were wrong.

3. Build A New Solution

Solve the problem based on the way you designed it.

(It may look strange and new to others.)
