I think most start up founders are a bunch of stupid people, inexperienced, arrogant and for the most part terrible at making money.
They have such a high esteem of themselves and their shitty little product that they make me puke. No wonder why most of them never get funded.
My 10 basic tips for all those delusional entrepreneurs if you want to get somewhere in life:
1. Stop believing all the stories you tell.
If you are not brutally honest with yourself, you can’t make informed decisions that will truly improve your company. You need a healthy dose of skepticism to make real forward progress. Founders often highlight what looks good and hide what looks bad. This is fake traction. Try to avoid it at all cost.
2. Swallow your stupid ego.
Startup envy isn’t a good enough motivator to get you through the tough times. Thinking that such-and-such startup was just acquired for hundreds of millions of dollars and you are so much smarter than them is not a productive thought. Swallow your stupid ego and get real.
