0/ [THREAD] Over the last 4 years, Iβve interviewed 100+ of the most successful Investors, Founders and Executives in the world.
Here are the 20 "must have" lessons that most stuck out to me.
Lessons on life, career advice, entrepreneurship and startups πππ
1/ Having a billion dollars is great, having a billion seconds is priceless.
Interesting thought experiment: If you had the opportunity to switch places with Warren Buffet, would you do it?
You would be a billionaire, but you would also be 90.
Time > Money.
2/ Always strive to simultaneously be overrated and underrated.
Contrary to popular belief, being overrated is good. It opens doors and gives you credibility.
But donβt let this go to your head. Stay hungry, humble and hardworking.
3/ Surround yourself with open minded people vs. close minded people
Open Minded People:
- Ask genuine questions
- Insatiably curious
- Listen attentively
Close Minded People
- Make statements instead of ask questions
- Focus on being right
- Speak more
4/ Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
If you get advice from enough people, the advice will cancel out. You can find 2 smart people to take opposite sides of the argument on virtually every topic.
Focus on developing your instincts and trusting your own intuition.
