Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Donald Burns ("Not Everyone Deserves a Seat"). Two speakers discuss the speaker's strong support network and argue that unpredictability is a positive trait for entrepreneurs — it keeps others on their toes and fuels energy and presence. The speaker emphasizes they bring a lot to the table and must choose who is allowed to sit at that table.
Oh, I'm so lucky that I've built an incredible network of resources who are my pillars of strength, like including yourself and to my best friends and counselors in life. But I really think it's that because as Alex would say, I'm unpredictable. But that's not always a bad thing.
I think unpredictable is actually a good trait for an entrepreneur. Yeah.
You want.
To know what your next move is. You always want to keep your guess.
Yeah. You know, being unpredictable or, you know, just really like keeping, keeping the people around you on your toes. I think that's what I'm also like good at because I think I like I'm fueled on stimulators. And then I think I'm a stimulator to really everyone around me because I bring the energy. Right. And so I bring a lot. I know that I bring a lot to the table, but it's who can sit at my table.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
