Summary

You want to be an entrepreneur? You shouldn't be. Well, at least you shouldn't optimize for it. Your main goal should be to live a good life and then everything else should only support that vision.

late at night. If I could go back to time learn one thing I'm telling you right

0:09.1

now it's this. You can only pick one thing that you want out of life and if you

1:26.3

about love? What about happiness? I know miserable entrepreneurs that are fat

1:37.3

but a friend of an entrepreneur friend and this guy's a billionaire but he's so
