Are you just pretending to build a startup or are you actually building one?
In this short excerpt from a recent The Startup Podcast episode, Chris and Yaniv discuss:
🚀 Distractions in Community Activities: Discuss the drawbacks of constant community activities that may distract founders from the core focus of building a substantial company, highlighting the pitfalls of innovation theater, tokenism, and frivolous engagements.
💡 Prioritizing Serious Conversations: Emphasize the importance of engaging in serious conversations with serious people, steering founders away from activities that don't contribute meaningfully to company growth.
🎯 "No Small Person Stuff": Reference the podcast slogan "No Small Boy Stuff" from My First Million, adapting it to convey the message of avoiding trivial pursuits and focusing on substantial goals in the entrepreneurial journey.
🌐 Engaging Directly with the Adult World: Encourage founders to navigate the business world as adults, engaging directly with the challenges and opportunities it presents, and not getting sidetracked by superficial distractions.
🤔 Expectations and Deliveries: Stress the mutual expectations founders should have from themselves and the world, highlighting the importance of executing disruption, taking risks, and either failing with lessons learned or succeeding on a grand scale.
