Nick Perry lays out five rules for entrepreneurs: manage yourself relentlessly, plan beats motivation, expect no support from friends and family, customers want results not passion, and learn before you fake it. Direct and practical.
Five years of entrepreneurship in less than 60 seconds. Number one, everyone loves the idea of being their own boss until they realize their boss is a crazy motherfucker who never gives days off. 2. You don't need more motivation. You need a motherfucking plan, a calendar, and to stop watching three hour podcasts about grinding. Three. Friends will disappear. Family won't understand. And that's okay. Vision isn't a group fucking project. Or customers don't care how passionate you are. They care if you deliver. Passion doesn't pay invoices. My guy. And last but not least, you don't need to fake it till you make it. You need to learn it till you earn it. Saves you 20,000 in mistakes and one identity crisis.
