1) Yes we can! Mindset
2) Problem first, not product.
3) Think narrow, not broad.
4) Ask for cash, ride the float.
5) Beg, borrow (but never steal)
6) Instead of asking permission, ask for forgiveness.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

Be the person who breaks the cycle. If you were judged, choose understanding. If you were rejected, choose acceptance. If you were shamed, choose compassion. Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you. Vow to be better than what broke you—to heal instead of becoming bitter so you can act from your heart, not your pain.

Wow! So simplified. I had stuck on some project. I'm going to use it for my next meeting with my startup partners. Thanks John and TED.

Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

This lecture reminded me of the importance of endlessly researching and solving problems with the products you make, rather than just making a lot of products, and to think narrowly, not broadly. Begging, borrowing, and please, don't steal
I've been thinking about the advice and realized that not copying other people's ideas or products is the most important thing to succeed!

Once you decide you're not going to allow your fears and insecurities control your life, you are free to try do anything you want with it. Walk towards your dreams.

You are truly amazing John. You compiled them shortly and briefly. Million thanks and will keep them, improve them, and continue learning.

We are mistaken if we have a lifestyle guided by either/or logic. We think either we must conquer the challenge before us or we will be failures. We think either our loved ones must meet our needs or they do not love us. We think either we must be perfect or we are unacceptable. Often life’s answers exist in the in-betweens.

O vídeo "6 Tips on Being a Successful Entrepreneur" de John Mullins no TED fala sobre os seis mindsets contraintuitivos que empreendedores de sucesso possuem, usando histórias de empreendedores reais para ilustrar cada ponto. Aqui está um resumo dos principais pontos:

2:00 "Yes, We Can": Contrariando a sabedoria convencional de focar apenas em competências centrais, Mullins destaca a importância de adotar desafios fora da zona de conforto, ilustrado pela história de um empreendedor brasileiro que expandiu sua empresa para novos domínios tecnológicos.

4:07 Foco no Problema, Não no Produto: Mullins argumenta que empreendedores de sucesso identificam e resolvem problemas reais ao invés de se concentrarem em produtos, exemplificado por um empreendedor que desenvolveu uma liga metálica especial para evitar que pinças cirúrgicas grudassem em tecidos humanos.

6:42 Pensar de Forma Estreita, Não Ampla: A sabedoria convencional sugere mirar em mercados grandes, mas Mullins ressalta o valor de focar em nichos específicos. Ele usa a fundação da Nike, que inicialmente se focou em criar calçados melhores para corredores de longa distância, como exemplo.

8:50 Pedir Dinheiro e Utilizar o Fluxo de Caixa: Destacando a importância do fluxo de caixa para empreendedores, Mullins fala sobre como a Tesla arrecadou fundos vendendo carros antecipadamente, um contraste com a abundância de caixa em grandes empresas.

11:08 Emprestar, Pegar Emprestado, Mas Não Roubar: A história de "Go Ape", um negócio de aventuras em copas de árvores no Reino Unido, ilustra como empreendedores podem utilizar recursos existentes (neste caso, árvores de terras públicas) para construir seus negócios sem necessidade de grandes investimentos iniciais.

13:04 Agir Sem Pedir Permissão: Mullins discute como empreendedores, como os fundadores da Uber, muitas vezes avançam sem buscar aprovação prévia, uma abordagem que pode ser crucial quando as regulamentações existentes não contemplam novas ideias ou modelos de negócios.

Mullins encerra desafiando os ouvintes a identificar quais desses mindsets já possuem, quais podem aprender e como aplicá-los para superar desafios e transformar ideias em realidades bem-sucedidas.
