The Entrepreneur's Rollercoaster + dank memes

Do people still say dank?

We’re starting off Thinker Thursday a little differently this week. Some memes just hit differently, and this first one perfectly embodies the rollercoaster ride of being an entrepreneur.

Memes

With crypto people always say you should zoom out to understand just how much Bitcoin or some other stupid ponzi scheme has improved.

In the life of an entrepreneur it’s important to zoom out as well. When something goes really well and you are feeling awesome, don’t forget to zoom out and remember how it felt when you weren’t sure if it was going to work out.

When things are going terrible and you are on the brink of collapse, just remember that you’ve been successful before, and you can get there again.

Now that we’re done being serious, the SVB memes have been really solid this week.

Every day I wake up & take two huge gambles: 1) Working for myself will be a long term net positive for myself and my family. 2) There's life after death, so I should work hard to make sure that it's as or more enjoyable than this one. I trust these choices, but I doubt, too.

9 times out of 10 in entrepreneurship: “Because that’s how it has always been done…” Means it works. It is a proven and effective way to make money. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel and overcomplicate things.

"Working for the weekend" means being excited about 29% of your life.

I can talk myself into anything. Give me enough time to think and I can make myself believe that anything is a good idea. My wife is a great asset to me. She keeps me in balance and is good at asking questions I haven't considered.
