In the first lecture of the "How to start a startup" course, Sam Altman, former president of Y-Combinator says that you should never start a startup just for the sake of doing so and that quote: "there are much easier ways to get rich".We all probably know the saying that if you don't have an extremely strong drive and passion, you're way more likely to give up and your startup is deemed to fail from the beginning. If the only goal is to make as much money off other people as fast as possible, eventually you will make business decisions for the wrong reasons and ultimately hurt your reputation and growth potential.However, there are many entrepreneurs that are in it just for the money. They see a great opportunity to make tons of money and they just go for it. They don't do it because they want to solve a problem, make someones life easier or bring something new to the world. They only want those $$ and it seems they have about the same rate of success as those who do it out of passion. That is, just as low.So what did Sam Altman exactly mean by that? The entire course focuses on starting hyper-growth and eventually very large companies. He doesn't say easier ways to make money, he says easier ways to get rich. Of course the chances of making a startup into a 500-employees-business are slim to none, but what easier ways are there to make the same amount of money? And what easier ways in general are there to get rich?How to start a startup youtube playlist see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
