What about this makes you say that?
- htk 3y agoI bet on jealousy.
- herval 3y agothanks for projecting, but nah
- herval 3y agoThis post is a list of common sense advice (I heard them all before), and there’s probably no correlation between them and success (except for “the right connections”, in the first item). You can follow this advice top to bottom and still fail spectacularly every time. But when people succeed, they retell the story - almost always random, like the sudden success of chatgpt - into an act of sheer will, where their intellect played a central role on beating the odds. As history shows us again and again, it’s usually revisionism (Or maybe I’m just bitter, having shut down my startup today)
- whynotminot 3y ago> (Or maybe I’m just bitter, having shut down my startup today) This was actually the exact vibe I was feeling from your post. And it’s ok, I get it. Take a while to be upset and then get back out there. I wish you the best of luck in your next venture.
- SunghoYahng 3y agoThen, how about creating 1000 startups and operating them in parallel? Since success is mostly luck, it doesn't matter how well each one is operated. Therefore, by operating 1000 startups, the probability of success can be increased to 1000 squared.
- herval 3y agoThat’s called being an investor, and yes, your odds of success increase exponentially :)
