If it feels like you're just drudging on, if it feels like this isn't going anywhere, this thing's in decline, there's no electricity flowing through this. That's the time to reconsider. But, um, You know, you talk a lot about agency and entrepreneurship is just a way of expressing agency. It's just a way to have an effect on the world.

It's a way to get your ideas out in the world in a commercially successful manner. There are many other ways that you could do that as well. But, you know, if you were high agency in Japan a couple of hundred years ago, you'd be a samurai. You'd roam around with your samurai swords.

If you're high agency in this modern economy, you'd probably be an entrepreneur or be part of an entrepreneurial team.

Yeah. So yeah, for anyone who hasn't, not familiar with my background, I've had seven startups that went zero to a million in their first 12 months. And I've had three that have gone 10 million plus. I've run an entrepreneur accelerator for five and a half thousand companies where we've gone through a growth journey. I've written six books on entrepreneurship.

So basically I'm saying that not to try and impress anyone, but to say I spend a lot of time thinking about entrepreneurship. Yeah. Yeah, there's a very predictable set of steps. So entrepreneurship is a lot like getting a plane off the runway. You need to follow a set of processes and a set of steps.

So entrepreneurship is a lot like getting a plane off the runway. You need to follow a set of processes and a set of steps.

And it's extremely dangerous to fly a plane, except if you follow a set of steps, and then it's extremely safe. So there's a narrow straight path for getting a plane off the runway. There's aerodynamic principles, and there's pre-flight checklists. So it's the same with entrepreneurship. Yeah. Should I go through it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, the first one, the first step is to work for an entrepreneur. So like being a number two for an entrepreneur is a really great first step. So I never recommend people just like quit their job and go start a business.

I would always say quit your job in a large faceless company and go work for a company that has less than 12 people on the team so that you can just see what it's like and just have an experience. Do two years working for an inspiring entrepreneurial little team. And really it doesn't matter if it – is totally aligned.
