Becoming an Entrepreneur has been absurdly over-hyped and romanticized these days. So today, I decided to take you along for what an actual full day of work looks like for me as a startup CEO, and in doing so, share with y'all some of my biggest struggles that I'm currently facing, and what I'm doing about them.

Hey fam - I'm going to vlog the entire journey of us building a Billion $+ company in hopes you can learn from it. Would love if you subscribed and joined the journey -- will do everything I can to share with you everything I learn along the way. ❤

I’m not a business student or knowledgeable in business, but if you’re constantly looking for “the best” person for the job, your search will never end. You should probably look for the people that are looking for a mission to see through to the end, and people that are willing to grow and become better and more efficient over time as the company grows. You need people that want to BUILD something together, that means for better or for worse you stick together.

Hey man just wanted to say - the first part of this video hit home. Experiencing hyper growth myself and struggling a bit with letting go of things and growing the team and your comments reminded me it’s normal to feel that way. Appreciate these videos cheers

Hey Jay, I work in management consulting. Your content is GOLD, one piece of advice based on your closing thoughts. Given the scale you have reached, I think you greatly stand to benefit from bringing on a head of strategy into Stan. this person can help you think of the future, the big picture, and how to evolve your business to stay on the forward frontier. Understandably there is too much tactically day-to-day on your plate that prevents you from thinking strategy enough

@martymarkenson3671 2 месяца назад

Really interesting to see the character arc from creating content to leave I-banking and surf. To setting new hire expectations that you’ll be working more than 9-5.

@kylemaster41 2 месяца назад

Love this! This is what it really is and people don’t understand the amount of work it takes.. but at the end of it, if purpose is there and that never fades, you WILL be successful.

I run a small Healthcare startup focusing on stress and weight management for leaders. We run clinics and online coaching programs. So many of the things mentioned are so relevant. From running teams, managing emotions, being self-conscious about whether we’re doing the right things. Please keep making these videos to show the real behind the scenes of running a company. 🎉

We honestly don't use any software here! We just set OKRs, have weekly business review meetings, and use Notion to track!

Things keep compounding, too much stuff to worry, and mind fk and exhausted every single day! But love the journey though!

@user-mw8wq4ey6i 2 месяца назад

John, I have heard you speak about side hustles. I am a data scientist by day, but I am truly meant to be a game developer and am both passionate and talented at it. Both data science and game development are "all in" fields that are ultra competitive; this combination of career and side hustle would also probably lead to burnout.. What is your advice for someone in such a situation?

@jayhoovy 2 месяца назад

Hmmm - I'm going to push you on your thinking just to give you perspective - totally hear you on both being intense. But what would a world look like where for just an hour a day, or a few hours a weekend, for an entire year you were consistent about just making a little bit of progress on testing your gaming dreams? I bet you could build a pretty dope indie game by year 1.5-2 with just a few hours/week of truly shipping and learning :) and use your data science skills as a competitive advantage!

@staceyjo1752 Месяц назад

Hey can i recommend a book? Buy back your time by dan martell. I think it would be helpful to you and i am interested to see how you would apply this to your business.

@topote5224 2 месяца назад

Yooo John! Just wanted to say that you motivied me to start creating content as a 19 yo tech solopreneur. You are a pretty good example that a solid personal brand is one of the greatest and simplest competitive advantage, as I personally only know Stan in your niche. Your way of functionning reminds me of how Spotify approaches it: we help THEM make money for us to make money, I truly respect that. Keep up the work and I sincerely hope that Stan will get to the Billions in no time flat!

@jayhoovy 2 месяца назад

So humbled to hear topote! You're still so young so don't feel rushed - you've got SO much time and learning ahead of you. Wishing you all the best in your journey! KIT

@topote5224 2 месяца назад

@@jayhoovy you're 100% correct. I believe that starting a business at my age (or even younger) is the best way to learn practical knowledge and skills, so there is no downsides to it even if it fails
