Not a dumb question. Just to explore this topic, I met with a very interesting founder who is originally from Nepal and went to Finland and from there to the US in pursuit of his entrepreneurial dream. Give it a listen @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m0TYvaQC2U&t=1937s&ab_channel=EverydayLeadership

So I asked this founder friend of mine whose first startup did not do well after investing several years. After taking a year-long break he bounced back with another idea and a company. I captured this interesting conversation @ Journey to my second startup.
Tired of a lot of bullshit on this topic, I decided to talk to actual founders in the trenches to get their insights. Let me know in the comments there if you have any specific questions.

The key to rags to riches is “to give rather than take”. It took me several years to embrace this mindset shift. By the way, I’ll be having conversations with numerous startup entrepreneurs to uncover real insights into what it truly takes to build their own wealth through startups, rather than the superficial information that often circulates. Please take a moment to listen when you have the opportunity, and I’m confident you’ll gain valuable knowledge. You can find it here: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbaDyj207dJz8qqqwx-Y9BQ\].
