Everyone wants to be a founder. Few understand the cost. Reality check: 1.99% of startups fail. Your odds are likely worse. 2. Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything. 3. Most "revolutionary" ideas are incremental at best. 4. Founder life: 15-hour days, constant stress, no weekends. 5. You'll likely earn more life as an employee. 6. Toxicity at its peak when being a founder. F**ked up work-life balance. Never Imagine that you can have a life while grinding. It's tough. Hard truth: Many chase founder status to avoid being a "regular" employee. It's ego, not passion. Question yourself: Are you solving a real problem, or just wanting to be called CEO? REAL FACT: The best founders are often great employees first. employees often create more value than mediocre founders. Founding a startup should be a byproduct of your expertise, not a shortcut to it. Remember: The world needs more great executors than ideas. Be honest about which one you are.
