No one will remember you.

And that's a statement that bothers a lot of people.

0:04.1

And if that does bug you, then you probably should look away from the rest of this.

0:08.1

And my team was going back and forth on even posting this because they're like,

0:11.4

dude, there's so many people that are going to disagree with this.

0:13.9

And I'm okay with that.

0:15.5

And this is not me in any way saying that my beliefs should be your beliefs or that your beliefs are wrong.

0:19.1

I am simply explaining my beliefs should be your beliefs or that your beliefs are wrong. I am simply explaining my beliefs. And the reason I'm doing that is because I think one of the hardest parts of entrepreneurship
