You didn’t invent lemonade, you fraud. But you still had a lemonade stand as your first startup.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Let us get back to that 5 year old version of yourself cuz the version I see is paralysed (i can’t even spell paralyzed bc it’s so for’n to me:-) Dont ANAL-yze entrepreneurship. Practice it? Practice doing a Lemonade Stand (startup?) concept:<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Problem: Few founders want to “Do Things That Dont Scale”<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Problem: Nearly zero technical co-founders want to sell and cold call<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Solution: do small promotional things that are safe, fun and verrrrry low risk<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Good news: You as a 9 year old naturally knew how to sell. You ‘sold’ ideas to your parents and sometimes had to sell your creepy Uncle Larry Chiang who talked to you like you were 19 instead of 9 (and you liked it)<\/div>\n

Lets play and practice entrepreneurship (secretly and fun-ly).<\/div>\n
