Want to be a founder - don't do it.
- api 14y agoShort summary: (1) Don't start a company just to feed your ego, or because it's trendy. You're unlikely to succeed, especially if that's your only reason for doing it, and failing is likely to bruise your ego even more. (2) Don't start a company to "get rich quick," either. Most people don't get rich, and it's not quick. It's a load of work and involves a lot of sacrifice and a high probability of disappointment. You'd be statistically far better off with the "get rich slow" path of living below your means and investing. I hope more people follow this advice. There's too much noise out there... too many get rich quick me-too schemes and Chief Ego Officers running around. Please clear the field for interesting stuff and experienced, honest founders.
