Publishing Is the Next NVIDIA

In 1993, Jensen Huang started NVIDIA with $40,000 in a rented Silicon Valley office.
He wasn’t building a graphics card company — he was betting on where the world was going, not where it was.

Today, NVIDIA is worth more than entire countries.
And it happened because Jensen focused on a few high-ROI decisions that compounded for decades:

• Betting early on GPUs

• Moving into AI before anyone else

• Reinvesting profits into R&D instead of distractions

He didn’t chase “creativity.” He built a machine that compounds.

The Author Problem

Most authors never see NVIDIA-level results because they don’t treat publishing like a business.

They write a book, hit publish… and hope something happens.
No systems, no compounding, no idea what drives ROI.

They confuse finishing the book with building the asset behind it.
And they stay stuck in the same loop — creating, not compounding.

Creativity makes you proud. ROI makes you rich.

The Shift: Think Like NVIDIA

A book isn’t a creative project.
It’s an asset — something that grows in value and pays you while you sleep.

High-ROI actions are what make that happen.
Here are the ones that actually move the needle:

• Market & keyword research

• Advertising and optimization

• Design upgrades (covers, A+)

• Systems & delegation

• Backlist updates

• Growth experiments (TikTok, YouTube, affiliates)

That’s it. Everything else is noise.

The NVIDIA Lesson

NVIDIA won because it kept doubling down on what worked.
Authors can too — if they stop chasing dopamine and start building systems.

“Stop thinking like an author. Start thinking like a business owner.”
