Short YouTube clip (Capitalism.com, Feb 13, 2024) of Noah Kagan advising entrepreneurs to prioritize long-term persistence: he attributes his financial success to decades of effort and long-term commitment to a team, citing AppSumo as the eventual successful venture. He emphasizes that hard work is universal and entrepreneurship is broadly accessible (no discrimination based on size/background).
When people get backwards, if you think it's actually backwards, people are sticking with losers too long and they're not sticking with winners long enough. So they're like, this isn't working. I'm going to stick with it really long versus people who get something going don't stay with it long enough. Like for me, I would say my millions came from decades, meaning that it took me a long time to eventually find the thing that was really easily worked, which was appsumo.com and then I would say the success of it, really in terms of money, besides all the other successes of time, Millionaire lifestyle millionaire, is because I stayed with a team over a very long period of time. And so I'm encouraging people, don't worry about you. Don't work hard. Everyone can work hard. That's a universal ability. And guess what? You don't have to be tall even. I mean, you're pretty average size. You could be successful. That's the coolest thing about entrepreneurship. There's no discrimination.
