Invest with Purpose: The Missionary Over Mercenary Mindset
The distinction between being a missionary and a mercenary significantly influences a founder's career trajectory. Early on, involvement as a mercenary is crucial for discovering and seizing opportunities, as financial motivation often drives initial success. Over time, as one achieves career milestones, the focus shifts towards becoming a missionary, driven by a desire to contribute to the greater good. Ultimately, at the peak of one's career, the aspiration transforms into that of an artist, where work is motivated by passion and love for the craft rather than financial gain. This journey reflects a dynamic mix of motivations that vary for each individual, highlighting that technology serves as a powerful tool for making impactful changes in the world.
