Most people don’t start a business because they tell themselves that it won’t work. It’s the hard truth that most people don’t want to hear.
If you read about most founders they don’t become rich due to luck or background or whatever. No most of the time they set themselves a goal and then do EVERYTHING to get there. They don’t care whether their parents had money or not. Or whether the market timing is right. They just do whatever they need to do.
- intelVISA 2y agoDamn it was that easy to obviate financial obligations? Guess the bank also won't care if we stop paying our mortgages? To give credit to your position, over in Europe they've a generous welfare state yet very few successful startups so there's definitely a huge grindset factor but you're still cashing in on incredible luck or a comfortable economic position to be able to try enough times to score. This is why the standard issue techbro advice from semi-wealthy "hustlers" who failed upwards on the backs of a few H1B 'founding' engineers is not actionable, I can at least respect the ones who don't bother with the facade.
