Work When I Want, Make What I Need

This phenomenon often sees attempts at duplication, which frequently fail. The issue isn't the feasibility but the lack of commitment and time investment. Initially, you'll work constantly and earn little, but eventually, you'll achieve the flexibility to work when you want and earn what you need.

Key Points:

  • Duplication attempts often fail due to lack of follow-through.

  • Success requires significant time investment.

  • Initially, expect to work a lot and earn little.

  • Commitment and perseverance are crucial for eventual success.

  • Imagining a tangible reward can motivate taking action.

Consider the analogy of being offered a $100 million check with the catch that you must find an unknown office. This highlights the commitment and effort needed to achieve significant goals. If you pursued your business idea with the same determination, you would realize that the journey itself is valuable, and the knowledge gained makes the challenges worthwhile.

By approaching your goals with this mindset, you'll recognize that while the path may be difficult, the ultimate success and knowledge acquired make it all worthwhile.

Exa raises $17M from Lightspeed, Nvidia, Y Combinator to build a Google for AIs

Exa, a startup focused on building an AI-native search engine, aims to revolutionize how AI platforms gather information online. Unlike typical search engines that cater to human users, Exa's tool allows AI models to perform web searches, predicting the next relevant link rather than the next word. Founded by Harvard alumni Will Bryk and Jeff Wang, Exa was initially aimed at enhancing search with AI but shifted focus after the rise of ChatGPT, leading to the creation of an API for AI companies. With $22 million in funding and notable clients like Databricks, Exa's search engine is gaining traction among thousands of developers for applications such as AI chatbots and data curation.
