I woke up early decided to write a poem for founders.
As I saw the sunrise in San Francisco, these words hit me.
Go read The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield.
A simple, useful book to get more things done.
For all the crazy ones out there building their own empires as founders: keep pushing through the pain. Win against the enemy. You are destined for greatness.
For the love of the game
I have no shame
To change the world and pursue fame
While breathing with zero blame
The path is lonely
The journey is painful
It can end up badly
But it is the only path I know, sadly.
The stakes are high
Don’t forget to cry
The scars make you grateful
You mature as you are faithful
Raise the capital
Be professional
Partner with principles
So regret is minimal
The game won’t stop
As you pound the laptop
Build the team
With no fake steam
Connect with the divine
It is crucial to redefine
As you build your evolution
As you buffer the solution
Start a revolution
With some Confucian attribution
For positive execution
A peaceful you equals the best solution
There will not be a single day in which you won’t face regular adversities of living in the earth-plane, so teach yourself how to be at peace and in stillness.
Welcome to another episode of the Inevitable Podcast, today I have the honor of being here with Brian Requarth whom I have known for almost a decade.
Returning to serenity requires minimalist action. Take the very next step. Break it down into something so small that you look silly by not doing it.
