Tell an entrepreneur to do something and he won’t do it.
Tell an entrepreneur he can’t do something and he will.
One motivation for a number of great entrepreneurs is being able to prove people wrong.
You will constantly be told you can’t do something. Use it as motivation. One of the greatest investors of all time once said about one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time: “The best way to get Vinod Khosla to do something is to tell him it’s impossible.”
Do something that people said couldn’t be done and it changes the entire mental game.
