'Turn your passion into your profession' — but more people regret making that choice than you might think.
I agree. Sometimes a hobby should remain a hobby.
That work life balance and hustling are opposites. Because you cannot pout from an empty cup and if you want to hustle you need work-life balance to keep you going
True. We all need balance to move forward.
I agree with “plan to fail, and fail it fast”. As a startup, our biggest advantage is being able to quickly ship and validate our ideas.
Ok, what do you disagree with? :)
I do not believe hiring the “A players” as startups, instead we should hire the most suited players.
Is the customer really always right, especially at the start? How do you balance that?
It is definitely not true that the customer is always right. There is a huge amount of consumer terrorism in the modern world.
'' Work-life balance is about working less." I disagree. It's not about working less but working smarter, prioritizing tasks, setting boundaries, and making time for what truly matters without sacrificing productivity or personal growth.
I completely agree. For me, balance is what suits me, not more or less work.
I don't like the popular saying, "Fake it until you make it." I don't think it's okay to deceive users and sell them a product that doesn't exist. Talking about the future of a product is great, but selling a product that doesn't exist seems like a scam to me.
Here is mine that I struggle to promote it as much as possible: ,,Women are naturally better at multitasking, so they should handle everything at work and home." Just because women CAN multitask doesn’t mean they SHOULD always wear more than one hat at a time.
I disagree with the popular notion that success is primarily about individual talent, believing instead that collaborative ecosystems, adaptability, and persistent learning are far more critical determinants of meaningful achievement. True breakthrough innovation emerges not from isolated genius, but from interconnected networks of diverse perspectives working synergistically towards shared transformative goals
