  2. Every thought I would like to express to you here is being counteracted by a second thought questioning the validity of the first…..
    Nice to hear you again after a relatively long period of silence (in relationship to your active time before.)
    Comparisons are the strategies of the mind (I know that's stolen, but felt like saying it).
    When I discovered your videos about 3 years ago they were of great inspirational value to me, they often lifted me out of a depression, and I often wondered, ' how can a kid half your age be so wise and determined and full of wits?' Respects for your path.
    and thanks for making me laugh many, many times!!
    Laughing and crying arise from the same source….haha
    Can I tell you a german antijoke from the 80s ? ..ok…here it is:
    A man goes into a bakery. When he comes out, the bus is gone. …
    Not funny?? Ok . Hm. I'll try again: Two guys are taking a walk in the woods. Says one of them: "look! There's a mushroom." Says the mushroom: " so what. " ….
    Wish you well

  3. Thank you for that video, that's great advice.
    Even for me as a person who wants to be the business guy, scaling something and creating a company it's important to know These types and what type you are. Especially because it can change, so that when I notice, I actually only want to create the best possible burger every day I can notice that and react accordingly.
    At the moment I am pretty sure, I really want to scale something and be the business guy, so I wanted to ask you, if you have a recommendation, what books I should really read for that.
    At the moment I read every self help and business book, that I find, but over the last days some of your videos convinced me to be more picky with the books I read and to do more actual work on my business. So i'd love to know, what books you'd actually recommend me to read for that.

  4. That's horse pucky. You can set up gourmet burger joints where the people come to a school you own and learn how to make them your way. Then, there is more than enough money in only having 200 or 300 stores franchised. You learn from McDonald's who is not in the burger business but in the real estate business and do the same.

  5. Most of the successful companies are not people who were creative or passionate. They took other people's ideas and scaled them. This applies to so many examples: McDonald's, Starbucks, Uber, any franchise, real estate. Sometimes you get the rare part of passion and good business sense like Apple and Microsoft but those are rare

  6. Your point with the burger makes sense in terms of retail, but when you get into the service side of business (aka law, finance and medicine work) you start to realize that those on the top of their food chain are people who make the finest, best, most delicious "burger," because in service demand plays a heavier role than supply.

  7. You remind me of Solomon in his book the "Ecclesiastes." I guess such periodical moments of deep thoughts and questioning will always resurface. I am convinced that you are driven more by higher purpose than status and awards.

    Quite an impressive shift of thought– very informative.

  8. I've read 4 hours work, $100 startup, outliers… none of them expect scaling and all of them talking about passion and reality check… idk, maybe it's just the wrong book that only speaks about scaling…
