00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.136
The confidence to be vulnerable is actually

00:00:03.161 --> 00:00:05.093
one of the greatest qualities of an entrepreneur.

00:00:07.821 --> 00:00:10.013
Entrepreneurs have to have a few different things

00:00:10.038 --> 00:00:12.788
in their toolkit. One, is they have to have grit

00:00:12.813 --> 00:00:15.972
and determination and relentless pursuit

00:00:15.997 --> 00:00:18.779
of their ideas; two, is they have to be able

00:00:18.804 --> 00:00:21.815
to have the opposite of that, which is the ability

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:24.455
to see the big picture and to understand

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.980
where they’re going, and how to bring

00:00:27.005 --> 00:00:29.358
the smartest people around them,

00:00:29.383 --> 00:00:32.593
and how to scale their ideas,

00:00:32.618 --> 00:00:35.144
and be really vulnerable,

00:00:35.169 --> 00:00:38.198
and yet be really confident at the same time.

00:00:38.223 --> 00:00:40.510
And, that’s like hard to be both confident, like,

00:00:40.535 --> 00:00:41.986
I have this vision, I see this thing,

00:00:42.011 --> 00:00:43.148
and here’s how I want to do this,

00:00:43.173 --> 00:00:44.768
and to be vulnerable to actually say,

00:00:44.793 --> 00:00:46.649
“I actually need help with these things”,

00:00:46.674 --> 00:00:47.953
and you don’t always see that.

00:00:47.978 --> 00:00:50.095
Either they’re so confident that you don’t think

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:51.290
they’re going to be a good listener,

00:00:51.315 --> 00:00:54.376
or they’re so vulnerable that they are not –

00:00:54.401 --> 00:00:56.583
they don’t have the conviction of their own ideas,

00:00:56.608 --> 00:00:58.989
so it’s like a funny blend between the two.
