you
your particular starting a company you need work super hot so what is super
hard me well when my brother and I were starting our first companies instead of
getting an apartment we just rented a small office and respect on the couch
and we showered at the YMCA and we're so hot up we had just one computer so the
website was up during the day and I was coding at night seven days wasted all
the time work hard like if it's me every waking hour that's that's the thing I
would I would say if your particular if you're starting a company and I mean you
can do simple maths they're like okay if somebody else is working 50 hours and
you're working 100 you'll get twice as done as much done in the course of a
year as the other company if you're creating company or if you're joining
companies the most important thing is to make sure it's to attract great people
so either be would join a group that's amazing that you really respect or keep
building a company you've got to gather great people I mean all the company is
is a group of people that have gathered together to create a product or service
and so depending upon how talented hard-working that group is an degree to
which they are focused cohesively in a good direction that will attend with
success properly so do everything you can to to gather great people if you're
creating something it constantly seek criticism
a well a well thought-out critique of whatever you're doing is as valuable as
gold and you should seek back from everyone you can but particularly your
friend usually your friends know what's wrong so they don't want to tell you
because they don't wanna hurt you so yeah so they're less elegant courage my
friends so I'm not going to tell them what I think is wrong with this product
yeah it doesn't mean your friends are right but very often they are right and
you at least watch listen very carefully because they say and everyone you're
looking for basically we should take the approach that that you're wrong you know
that that that really entrepreneur are wrong your goal is to be less wrong
don't don't just follow the trend I'm a perfectly good taken physics
approach first principle which is
rather than reasoning by analogy he welcomes down to the most fundamental
truths you can imagine and you read up from there and this is a good way to
figure out if if something really makes sense or just what everybody else is
doing and it's hard to think that we can't we don't worry about everything
takes a lot of effort but if you find something new it's the best way to do
and the framework was developed by figure out counterintuitive things like
much mechanics so it's really a powerful helpful message and then I think that
the final thing I would encourage you to do is now is the time to take risk
