A short YouTube monologue (speaker: Omar Zenhom) arguing against the myth that founders are "superhuman." The speaker—drawing on personal coaching experience—says successful founders are ordinary people who succeed because they do things most others won't, not because they lack fear or need less sleep.
People think founders are superhuman. They don't need sleep. They have no fear. They have no doubt. All the vision in the world, all the confidence, all the bravado. Absolute nonsense. I've coached thousands of entrepreneurs, and I found that most of the most successful ones are pretty average people. And I can tell you with full certainty, successful entrepreneurs are not special. They're just willing to do things most people don't.
