I often think about what makes certain people more likely to succeed than others.
I think it has relatively little to do with intelligence, some of the most successful entrepreneurs including myself aren’t in any way shape or form smarter then the average person.
I think the main trait I see in successful people is calculated delusion and speed.
99% of people will have a business idea and spend a month pondering, researching etc.
Meanwhile the delusional people will know they can solve the problem and will just start, and only think when they get stuck.
So by the time person A. builds the courage to even file a business license,
the delusional entrepreneur has earned his first 100k.
it sounds so obvious, yet only a very small amount of people truly embody it.
When is the last time you had a good business idea and had it launched by the end of that same day?
That is what makes the difference.
i texted her, "how was your day today?" and she sent me a 7 minute voice note telling me everything..
and that basically sums up the kind of person i want by my side. stop normalizing disinterest.
