Thank you for reminding me that I'm a complete failure
Everybody fails. I hope you focus on your strengths. :) Don't let negativity bring you down.
Worse would be being a failure and not even recognizing it. At least being aware of it might cause some change that could change that status. I was on autopilot for decades. Wish I had been worried about being a failure way earlier instead of just coasting with a mediocre job and playing video games and drinking every night.
same here
With that mindset your only going to fail. When you change it to a positive mindset and realize there’s no such thing as failure as long as you keep going forward then you’ll succeed. Other then that your searching for sympathy will only make people look at you as lesser then the infinite being you really are.
Made me lol bro 😂
처음 말이 강렬하네요 - Ideas don't matter it's execution behind idea that really matters
Paul is a very inspiring person. I met him 20 years ago when he was making games for GameBoy(Advance). He is very honest person.
Greetz from Poland Paul. 👋😃
"When I say inspirational, that doesn't mean they're going to be like talking from a balcony"
Thank you for clarifying that.
"all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony!" lol
he is so right and it’s so true. I often said if you have an idea there are 100 people who had the same idea.
“You might know CAPCOM”
WHAAAAT, just casual like that? 😂
Singing a contract with CAPTOM is a big deal. This guys is a legend
Curious, nice to people, hardworking
I could listen to this guy all day long. 💯
please don't. You should stop watching this video and go build things !
@@michaelnyamande739 Hey thanks for your reply, but what I really meant was that he made it simple for me to understand. But since you mentioned that one should go build things, I am working on it as we speak.
As a founder definitely will like to have this investor.
best interview I have seen on UA-cam
Really insightful
So refreshing to hear advice on starting up from a successful entrepreneur. I'm his age. In 2004 I took a class on entrepreneurship, where we studied the theory behind where ideas originate, corporate intrapreneurship, and the personality of an entrepreneur..... 😂
Share the notes
I love how down to earth Paul is. I wasn't sure if I am a founder material because all the founders I see interviewing are calm or sharp, which I'm not! Paul sounds like a cool neighbor but he pulled things off and that gives me courage.
The world will ask you who you are, if you don't know, it will tell you who you are
11분 37초부터는 꼭
다들 아이디어가 있잖아요~
묵묵히 일을 처리하고 힘든 시기를 이겨내야죠.
돈은 효율적으로.
I love the title 🎉
This is one of your best videos. Excellent advice
I really like your Content.
Thanks for this beautiful interview with Paul
From India?
Hey, my fellow Indian.
Ideas dont matter but its execution behind the idea that really matters.
very cool
we want 10 hour interview with Paul
yes. yes we do.
I like how outspoken he is about not only his successes but failures. What a journey he's been on!
On a side note, is it possible to avoid profanity in the video title?
0
🔥
why changed the title?
Oh my god now I get Forrest gump- it is simple- "JUST DON'T THINK."
Yes go out and build things so people like himself and other VC funds can leech their way in with crappy contracts that only benefit themselves in the end. VC funding is what has caused the silicon valley exuberance to get out of hand and as we have seen when money is no longer cheap these loss leader companies end up getting hit hard while the funds tighten the thumb screws. VC is literally a loan on top of a loan. Uber has lost money year after year since inception but the VC's got rich after IPO due to insane (by no actual book metrics, valuations). Zappos was losing money hand over fist until Amazon bought them out and Amazon only makes money off of AWS. Stripe is a payment processor - collects fees - nothing innovative but at least makes tangible money.
Yeah I stopped to right this 😊
I know they say focus on your strengths and build things you're curious about and that solves your problems first. But is it wise for me to start building something I'm really curious about and that solves my personal problem, if I've done my preliminary research and realized that such solution/tool already currently exists ?
Make a better or different version for other market segments. Go for it!
@@rolandvarduhn I like that, got it!! Thanks man
Everything already exists to some degree - you just have to make a better version of it. Most of the companies this guy was in were not solving problems, most of silicon valley and tech is not solving anything - they ride the hype trains and hope they can sell their company before they have to actually make any money. If these tech companies actually had to make money instead of getting propped up by constant VC loans they would get slaughtered. So if you find you have an issue and find a solution, just find a way to make that solution easier, cheaper and better than the current solution out there and then sell it.
@@corail53 that’s a very good point. Much love man, thanks!
good
Right
Counter argument: Become immediately an investor. Don't start a company. Get a day job and invest in the stock market.
0 successful stories from such route, or just way fewer
Ever heard of Warren buffet?
He said 2000x but a small check from UBER?
The fact he's like 50 or so makes me feel like I still have time to make it
Brilliant
173: number of times Paul said "Right?" in this video.
Right
Rightt
So i'm gonna be inspired with all that cursing going on. You're right,I do need to stop watching this video.
Ok 👍 0:01
5:11 myspace was created before Facebook so idea was not new.
"those guys will never get my money again" 🤣
Remember jonney ivee is a designer :)
hhmmss: 13:05-13:44 ; networking social awareness social skills listening skills
Language Bro I am watching this at home with loud speakers 😂
all the more reason to stop watching and BUILD :)
@@PaulSalamoneComedy😂😂
right?
He says 'Right?' a lot. A lot.
Ikr
Just try. So what if you fail. At least you tried.
Execution is matter. impressive
I love it his mindset look like mind but with less much income than him 😅
Building also doesn't matter.
Building software is easy. It's done. And then?
Exactly, I love the shallow vapid "advice." "Just go build." "hUsTLe!!!"
It's bullshit "advice."
hhmmss: 2:03-2:47 ; preparation starting immediately huge failure
2000x
Imagine your value is $10,000 initially
Ideas matter.
It's a bad idea to execute on bad ideas.
Civilization is build on great, not-so-obvious ideas.
For example, do you know what AC current is, or HOW to generate it? That was once an idea.
Not everyone had Nikola Tesla's ideas.
Not everyone gets to think up E=MC². You have to be a great physicist first.
If everyone else has your idea, it just means it's probably simple and obvious; not that "Ideas don't matter."
No amount of execution saves a terrible idea.
When he says execution he’s including iteration as a part of the execution. Though, I do agree that ideas matter.😮
An interesting interview, but every time a cut scene with stock footage comes it breaks the overall picture of the inteviewer. Please consider to take the cut scenes out. Especially with code writing.
This is a Fuck*ng video, Fu**in Heck yeah!
You didn't need to call all your viewers failures 💀
true
Waa waa, u wont make it.
remind your thumbnail guy that 2000x of $0 is $0 🎉
0x2000=0
If you only Res the Title and nothing else. you gain more and didn't waste your time.
1:43 who even names their variables as ‘new’ ugggghh
I am putting a thumb down for the thumbnail
But idea’s matter.
execution too
Barely. Everyone has ideas. Most of them are useless. Few are useful. Even fewer are even executed upon.
0:01 Second I stopped watching the video
I’m not a fu**ing failure… change the thumbnail of this video
You are
Hey, as you already know, you're not a failure.
do you have a net worth of $2mn to $15mn?
That's a tough question to answer
Suggesting your viewers are all failures is not exactly a growth strategy. I prefer not to see such false and disgusting language, so I am banning this channel.
snowflake?
He suggest what is likely to happen. Odds are most will not succeed in business the first time.
If i had a dollar for everytime he said "right" I'd have enough money to execute the ideas in my head.
