Determination via Jessica Livingston
by Scott Edward Walker on September 22nd, 2010Introduction
I’ve been reading the book Founders at Work: Stories of Startups’ Early Days written by Jessica Livingston, a co-founder of Y Combinator (a seed-stage venture firm) and a very smart and interesting individual. The book is a collection of extensive interviews with founders of high-profile technology companies with respect to their earliest days, including Steve Wozniak (Apple), Craig Newmark (Craigslist), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail). There are many important takeaways and lessons to be learned, but the one that really struck a chord with me (as a former minor-league tennis player and now a corporate lawyer for entrepreneurs) is the importance of determination.
Motivational Clips for Entrepreneurs: “Hustle Is the Most Important Word. . . Ever” (via Gary Vaynerchuk)
by Scott Edward Walker on June 4th, 2010“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar
Welcome to our weekly series entitled “Motivational Clips for Entrepreneurs.” Each week, we post a short video or movie clip to inspire and motivate our fellow entrepreneurs. Why? Because it’s fuckn tough trying to build a company – and we all need a little juice to help us push the ball forward. I hope these videos are a little juice. Cheers, Scott
