-How much do you make?
-What’s their revenue?

I mingle with this complex, beautiful, envious group of humans called Entrepreneurs. 

They build (too fast)
They watch (too long).
They learn (too much)

The Information Age has created a scarcity and a comparison phenomenon like what seems like nothing before. 

I go to industry events or host them. 
The community is incredible and builds a tribe and culture. But first we have to get past the primal parts. 

How many employees do you have?

How many trucks?

These set a tone of “these are you are” first. 

This comes from the Comparison issue. 

Two things I believe:

1. Most people lie and add 20-40% to impress 

2. Success isn’t measured by these things. 

Does money mean success? It can. In ways. 

Money buys freedom, that creates flow, which allows innovation and a lower fear of loss from sunk costs. 

But money isn’t the goal. It’s the currency. It’s the strategy. It doesn’t define you. 

Honestly, it does in fact define some people. Their entire identity is tied to money and their fear reeks from their pores like a sweat after a basketball game. 

I know very wealthy people that are miserable and people that make a modest income that wake up so happy daily. 

The 8% don’t ask
“What’s your revenue?”
They instead ask:
“What are you building? What are you working on that fires you up?”

Then they follow with:

“What can I do to help?”

There is a new way being built. Where most want to be but are afraid to unplug. 

I’m here waiting for you. 

Reply with “I’m in” and let’s see where we go next. 

Cheers
