The best founders donโ€™t just start businessesโ€”they build something ๐๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ. Their company isnโ€™t just a way to make money; itโ€™s their lifeโ€™s mission. But ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‚๐„๐Ž๐ฌ are different. They focus on ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ญ-๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ and ๐š๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ค๐ฌ. Thatโ€™s why, in the 1990s, many startups replaced founders with CEOs who made โ€œsafeโ€ decisions. Thiel gives a perfect example: In 2006, Yahoo offered $๐Ÿ ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง to buy Facebook. A ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‚๐„๐Ž would have said, โ€œThatโ€™s a huge offer! Letโ€™s sell and cash out.โ€ But ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ-๐ฒ๐ž๐š๐ซ-๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ค ๐™๐ฎ๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ซ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐  ๐ซ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž๐. Why? Because Facebook wasnโ€™t just a company to himโ€”it was his vision for the future. That decision changed everything. Today, Facebook (now Meta) is worth ๐ก๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ž๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ. Thielโ€™s lesson? ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ. ๐“๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฅ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ. So ask yourself: ๐€๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐จ๐ซ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ ๐ง๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅโ€”๐ง๐จ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐œ๐ž?
