You are listening to the 10 minute entrepreneur podcast with host Sean Castrina.

Today's podcast we're talking about the nine lies, yeah lies that I heard and

you've probably heard. Thankfully I was smart enough to figure them out but

initially I heard some of them and that some of them made more

sense than the other. But now looking back, nine of them, none of them are accurate.

And you've probably heard these and some of them you're probably adhering to and it's a huge mistake because some

them are just so common and they're said by you know even famous people but they're

just not accurate so I'm going to talk to them right now talk to you about

them right now the first one is you've heard hard work work hard work work

work work guess what I'd rather have ten people working hard for me than me working

hard let me say that again I'd rather go to my companies and see

25 people working really hard than me working really hard. And it's not because I don't work hard, but it's because I got

168 hours in a week. I've got limited finite energy. I got limited finite skills.

It doesn't matter how hard I work. 25 people are going to outwork me at a substantial level.

But we always hear, work hard, work hard.

If working hard made you rich, I kid you not my dad would be Bill Gates because I never saw a human being work hard.

So that's not it. It's getting other people to work hard with you and for you.

The second thing I heard is, you got to be intelligent, you got to be super smart.

My SAT scores in the 1980s, you know, they kind of adjusted them, was 820. I have no idea what that is, but let me just let you in a secret. I know 700 was the baseline that again to a college. I remember when I got recruited by one school

they said I had to bring my friend so we could combine our SAT scores to get in on an athletic

scholarship. You know I'm being funny but I was far from a rocket scientist

yet when I went to grad school my GPA was 386 which is almost straight A's.
