Being Clear with Your Drive with Mohamed Geraldez

Being Clear with Your Drive with Mohamed Geraldez

1. I'm not too fond of those who say "do what you love. Don't do it for the money". 

What if lifting your family out of poverty is your passion? What if giving your children the opportunities you didn't have is what you love? I'm sorry, I'm going to pass on my passion of bicycles and bring this blockchain product to market. Why? Because I need money to make certain things happen in my life.   

Be realistic with yourself. We all have different backgrounds, experiences and circumstances; therefore, our personal definitions of "success" are different. Succeed in YOUR life...not in the lives of others. 

2. You don't have to start a small business, company or whatever you want to call it. Seek happiness. You're better off.

I've met many sad and unfulfilled entrepreneurs. 

Inevitably, 90% of startups fail. If that scares you, get a job. If you read that and got excited about beating the odds, come on in. But prepare yourself for a lot of ups and downs...and probably failure. 

3. Achieving success as an entrepreneur is super difficult.

The only real answer I have of building a successful company is luck. For further information on this, I have created a vlog that is mainly for entrepreneurs.
