Jake Burhans argues that entrepreneurs and builders take themselves too seriously. He suggests aiming for just 1% better each day while actually having fun, since nothing matters much on a giant rock anyway. Lightness and consistency beat stress.
You will never outcompete someone who is having fun. I need you guys to have more fun when you're building your businesses, when you're doing life. We are floating around in the middle of absolutely nowhere on a giant rock. Nothing even matters. Okay? Nothing matters. Nothing is that serious. No one even really cares what you're doing because they're so worried about themselves. So just relax and loosen up and get better. It's not about getting anywhere. It's about getting 1% better every single day. And when you do that and you have fun, ironically, you actually get more results.
