Sounds great, that definitely sounds like a great meditation practice.

Agreed, but I think its not a great sentiment to make towards meditation when it can actually help startup founders. Recharging is key amidst all the chaos big meetings, founder fights, etc. Rechar

Thanks, makes sense to me :-) Success isn't a one size fits all formula.

My challenge is there are nerds who meditate especially billionaires. Steve Jobs is the most famous example, but there are a ton more. Meditation Tim Ferris has noted it with some of the most successful people in Tools of Titans, I can name

My startup experience has been much better, but that’s because I was the cofounder and we’ve bootstrapped learning the lessons we need to learn to evolve vs what we think will make us blow up, people only think of the good blowing up, not t

100% of me disagrees with you, it was constructive he just wasn’t nice about it, there’s a difference.

100% so his argument fails. The need for houses is more essential today than ever, we’ve built more than ever, yet they’re very expensive. The scarce resources Naval fails to point at is what also powers your “there’s more people today” poi

Yeah not surprising, but I’d like to see Entrepreneurs at least acknowledge luck. Irrational certainty I feel is dangerous. Unbiased reality on the other hand is actually where I personally see the opportunities are since most don’t frame r

It sounds like people would love open source devices they can build/customize. This reminds my of the MySpace wall vs Facebook wall problem. There should be a market for both in hardware.

100%. A lot of survivorship bias in his diatribe. I feel most people I n this thread won’t like what you’re saying though, because it goes against the very belief drilled into Silicon Valley ideology.

“ Wealth is money in the bank that is reinvested into other assets and businesses.” So is it money in the bank then or is is it money reinvested? Or all of the above? He doesn’t really clarify. Am I the only one that found holes in his thin

I don’t know about banning crypto to stop ransomware attacks, if we followed that train of thought we shouldn’t even have an internet where people can steal personal information.

Is it lucky? Yes, but so is everything else, the great part here is you took advantage of the opportunity and I hope you keep doing that.

It should be criminal for those behemoths to restrict people of internet. As I’ve said in the past internet is too common to be monopolized by these companies if anything they should seek to enhance internet for all vs constricting it.

I am ;) but if everyone was to just blow smoke this guy would never uncover his potential.

Yup and what good does that do them? Look at sports, how often does the childhood prodigy turn into the adult phenom? Very very rarely. So even your example with kids is false, there’s a book talking about this fetishism called Late Bloomer

This is literally how some of my coding friends told me they learned to code and created their own programs. And yes following a recipe is cooking otherwise chefs would never do it, it’s called standardization

I mean gauging peoples potential I feel is meaningless since history has shown you can never really predict it. I am sure there’s some sort of baseline assessment you can create though to increase probability such as height and basketball f

This seems like an oversimplification of what it takes to make a company grow and succeed. Is it either a) hire top talent or b) hire for weakness. The question this article is posing is the wrong one, it’s neither a nor b. Companies need t

Aka the open source customer winning, nobody likes Wix let’s be honest. As an SEO they simply don’t do well on getting traffic and should stick to high schoolers and college students who don’t want to learn how to build a legitimate busines

You will get there you just need to wait. The latest computers are driven to improve because of the profit it seems you hate in your post, but Moore’s law is on your side.
