what you're doing today is 50% of the of the road so of the job >> and we're talking about the future but I like to talk about the past with a lens of reflection because having done this four times is remarkable the insights and the lessons learned that you got so let's say I put you into a time machine and I bring you back in time to that moment where you were about to give your notice there from the company that you were an employee at and you give your notice. You're walking out of the building and you're venturing now into the unknown, becoming a founder for the very first time. Let's say you're able to show up right there with that younger Tomas and give that younger Tomas one piece of advice before launching a business. What would that be and why, given what you know now? I'll tell you what my boss told me that time that I think it was a very wise um piece of advice and then
I'll tell you what I would add to that. H what you're doing today is 50% of the of the road. So of the job like starting is 50%. The other 50% is keeping your eyes wide open to see if what you're doing is the right path or h you have to pivot and go for something else. And that was exactly it. What he should have said because he knew with his fa he told me with his face is and what I would tell the younger me is choose a little bit what we talked earlier on. Choose an industry that's big enough and that you are sure or pretty sure you can solve a problem a big problem for the customer. So not sell the cherry on the cake but sell something that's really a pain uh for for the customer. So yeah, that's what I would tell >> younger
