I’ve choked on the lies long enough. Can’t take it. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Okay, here’s my rant. When founders and CS professors say zero to one<\/i>, they’re implying rags to riches. Let’s play a game. You name the impossible journey of starting PayPal or Palantir…, I’ll name all the prequel work that led up to scaling Mt Everest in a single leap. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let me expand and explain concisely. <\/div>\n

The start is so painful that majority of humans block it out of their mind #ZeroPt6<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Get in your mind the signature business protocol #ZeroPt6. Because going 555,000 to 600k is actually pretty easy. <\/span><\/div>\n

The book should be called “Stanford Law Review to One”. Zero implies starting at “0”, @TheTruthRosic<\/a>. Peter did a sequel to @HarvLawR pic.twitter.com\/XWVexr1UQI<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


\nLet me repeat… the start is so painful that majority of humans block it out of their mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Honing in on the entrepreneurship insight… The author of Zero to One, did not start from zero. Peter Thiel started from right below LEGENDARY. Peter Thiel started from right below a billion dollar unicorn startup. <\/span><\/div>\n

Harvard @HarvLRev<\/a> inside The 94305 is #GaGaGuaranteed<\/a> to work. Its bc @StanfordLaw<\/a> needs to review also. #peterThiel<\/a> & 34 #cs183s<\/a>‘

Peter Thiel started <\/span>Stanford Law Review<\/a>. You can’t take that success away. It was successful. Very successful. <\/font>@HarvLRev<\/a> did not get any royalty even though Stanford Law Review was a sequel to <\/font>@HarvLRev<\/a>. <\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nBasecamp right below Mt Everest makes climbing 20,000 feet easier. I recommend you put your Basecamp at 19999 feet by doing 34 hashtags from #cs183a<\/a> to @cs183x<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

#cs183a34z<\/a> means there are 34 hashtags from #cs183a<\/a> to @cs183x<\/a> [ie #cs183fanfe<\/a>. An actual 12G class for execs! twitter.com\/unofficialatx\/\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
