Whisper Transcript | Transcript Only Page

00:00:00.000 | most people would like to be a millionaire or beyond.
00:00:03.180 | And they actually realize that you probably need less money
00:00:05.400 | to live a very satisfied life.
00:00:06.480 | That's why in the book I've talked about
00:00:07.480 | like the freedom number, 'cause you realize
00:00:08.640 | that number is actually a lot less than you think.
00:00:10.860 | What I've recognized though is that most people
00:00:12.800 | think it's this big, scary thing.
00:00:14.200 | What's crazy about entrepreneurship,
00:00:15.120 | you don't need a certificate.
00:00:16.300 | (laughs)
00:00:17.480 | Everyone has permission.
00:00:18.560 | We create this big, scary monster of,
00:00:20.480 | well, I've gotta be a talkative person,
00:00:21.840 | or I've gotta go be on Twitter,
00:00:23.480 | or I've gotta go sell, and that's just not the case.
00:00:25.560 | You can create a business, it could be a flower shop,
00:00:28.200 | and then keep your day job as well,
00:00:29.540 | so at AppSumo, where I work, we have this lady, Amy,
00:00:34.080 | she has a flower shop and a hair salon,
00:00:36.160 | and she's also our head of customer support.
00:00:37.760 | You have Nick Christensen,
00:00:38.880 | who has a teeth whitening clinic up in Dallas,
00:00:42.080 | and he leads our growth team.
00:00:43.920 | And so it doesn't mean you have to quit your day job.
00:00:45.640 | Ideally, maybe have both,
00:00:46.760 | but at least have that option available to you.
