#13 | The 700 Year Old Mental Model Billionaires Use To Make Better Decisions In 30 Seconds | Occam's Razor Explains Why Most Entrepreneurs Fail

How Billionaires Think: Mental Models, Decision Frameworks & Psychology Principles For Building Wealth

What if the reason your business is stalling isn’t because your solution is wrong but because it’s too complicated?

What if the entrepreneurs quietly dominating their industries aren’t smarter than you, they’re just better at cutting through complexity and finding the elegant, simple answer hiding underneath?

In this episode of How Billionaires Think, we unpack Occam’s Razor — a 700‑year‑old principle that’s still the fastest way to out‑execute your competition. You’ll hear how Herb Kelleher built Southwest Airlines into the most profitable carrier in U.S. history by ruthlessly simplifying operations, how Google crushed billion‑dollar “portals” with a single search box, and how Steve Jobs stripped the phone down to one button and changed the world.

If you’re adding features, processes, or tools hoping for growth, this episode will show you why that instinct is making things worse, not better.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. The simple mental shortcut used by billionaires and innovators to make better decisions in 30 seconds than most teams make in months.
2. Why complexity silently kills profits, slows growth, and makes your company fragile — and how to spot where it’s hiding in your product, marketing, and operations.
3. A step‑by‑step framework to “shave away” unnecessary features, processes, and assumptions so your next decision or product launch is faster, cheaper, and more effective.

Hit play now to master the mental model that turned simple ideas into trillion‑dollar empires — and start simplifying your way to success instead of overcomplicating your way to failure.
