Only Work For Free.
Update: At the end of 2023 I changed my viewpoint on this. I will keep this old post up as I believe in the importance of understanding past thoughts.
“It can wait until tomorrow” — is said about work and chores, but...
Great things shouldn’t happen today either.
Do the work, but don’t reap the rewards for as long as possible…
because when you cash the chips in, they stop compounding.
Amazing things take years to build.
In dating, the best people aren’t in it for sex.
In the same way, the best people are never in anything for money.
Stay away from anyone that ever moves towards “cashing out”.
It can wait for a “tomorrow”— only play long term games with long term people.
And when building companies to change the world, don’t profit.
Never make money. As the company, the founder, or as the employee.
Reinvest everything. Live on nothing.
If what you are doing now you aren’t willing to do for free— keep looking.
