Only 1% Truly Thrive in Entrepreneurship
The cold hard truth: Most people are borderline incompetent. They make horrible decisions, constantly self-sabotage themselves, and have zero ability to delay gratification. This group basically gets supported by the other 50%. These folks take more value than they add. The next 45% is competent and adds value but simply does not have what it takes to run or start a business. They get overwhelmed by decisions and they lack the courage to hire/delegate. They’re better off and happier simply getting a job. Another 4% are too smart for their own good. They analyze things into oblivion, can’t simplify anything, overcomplicate entrepreneurship and stand in their own way. They start companies without ever truly succeeding. They obsess over theory and mental models and never get anything done. They end up banging their head against a wall and struggling. The last 1% is competent enough to make a decision, has enough courage to hire and delegate, but is too dumb to overcomplicate shit. These folks win and end up holding most of the wealth and power overall.
