The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch

NOTE

Olympian Work Ethic

The Olympian work ethic focuses on dreaming big and working exceptionally hard towards a common goal. It involves committing to at least 12-hour workdays, showing dedication similar to aspiring Olympic athletes. This work ethic is seen as a common characteristic in successful companies, where effort and dedication are crucial for achieving top results. The approach of working tirelessly with a team is emphasized for achieving success across different fields. The hard work and dedication showcased by successful individuals in athletics and technology highlight the importance of effort in achieving exceptional outcomes. Building successful companies often involves individuals with unique traits and an unparalleled work ethic, who push boundaries with irrational ambition and relentless dedication. The culture of working long hours without breaks was a norm in companies like PayPal, where relentless hard work and high standards were keys to success.
