The Hedgehog Concept

A useful tool to find your mission in life is the Hedgehog Concept, developed by one of my favorite business thinkers, Jim Collins.

It’s very simple.

Find the intersection of the following three circles

  • What are you deeply passionate about? What can’t you stop thinking and talking about?
  • What can you be the best in the world at? What are you genetically encoded for? Not just good, but literally encoded for.
  • What drives your economic engine? So that you can keep the lights on for a long time?

Here are my own current answers

  • Learning how to live a good and fulfilling life
  • To collect and share ideas on health, wealth, love, and happiness, from my unique and personal perspective.
  • Long-term value investing. This allows me to pursue my passions without the necessity of having to make a direct living from them.

The Bug Book

Need more help with finding your Hedgehog Concept?

Take a notebook and title it “The bug called {Your name}”.

And then go and study yourself like a bug. In a non-judgemental, empirical way.

  • What is this bug?
  • What is this bug genetically encoded for?
  • What does the bug like?
  • How does the bug behave?
  • What is this bug deeply passionate about?

Focus on the behavior and actions of the bug. It doesn’t matter what the bug thinks. It only matters how it behaves.
