Short YouTube commentary by Tim Frey arguing that modern entrepreneurship culture hands out 'participation medals' and that founders need an assertive, even delusional, confidence—thinking 'I'm the best'—to persist through doubt and succeed. The clip emphasizes daily adoption of this high-confidence mindset as practical advice for winning early-stage weeks.
We're giving out, like, participation medals for entrepreneurship, and it's no good. Guys, like, you have to be the best, or you have to at least think that you're best. When you started your business, you were like, I am good enough to do this. And then on day, like, 17, you were like, I don't know if I'm actually that good enough to do this anymore. You have to go with a level of delusion that says, I can do it, I'm gonna do it, and I'm the freaking best at it, and everyone needs this. And if you go in with that energy every single day, you will win the week. So you need to adopt the mindset that you're going to be a baddie.
