Attention: Young entrepreneurs
This might be the best advice you won’t want to hear.
You don’t need to read another self-help book.
You don’t need to attend another seminar.
You need to put in the hard work to master your craft.
You need to take the time to learn from the older generation who have experienced problems you can’t even fathom yet. Once you know what they know, then you can add your innovation to it.
But your innovation without their experience is a recipe for disaster.
I love entrepreneurs, but I’m sick of the charlatans who tell you to start a business before you know what the hell you’re doing.
The world doesn’t need more self-serving do******gs pretending to be experts.
I know this from experience. I spent ten years pretending to know more than I did, without first learning the industry from true experts - and it hurt people. It wasn’t honest, it wasn’t pure, it wasn’t Christian, it wasn’t beautiful. But it was how so many business books and seminars tell us how to live.
Pretend to be an expert. Write a half-assed book so you can call yourself an author. Get other phony experts to endorse you. Then charge more money for your “expertise.”
Or Ready, Fire, Aim. Shoot before you know what you’re shooting at. Pivot when you realize you were an idiot, just move fast and break things.
It’s bu****it and it needs to stop.
We need people who work hard to master their craft. We need skill. We need competence.
We don’t need any more 30 year old “experts”.
So don’t read “Think and Grow .” Instead, read the instructions.
