Investors assume first and foremost, that whatever plan you have is wrong. That whatever you launch won't be right, it will require pivoting. The question is are you someone who is capable of pivoting? If you're a critical thinker, you will be capable of pivoting." "Entrepreneurs take advantage of moments in history. They are not determinative of those moments."  Links from this episode: Andrew Weinrich on Twitter Andrew Weinrich Linkedin Andrew's Roadmaps Predicting Our Future podcast SixDegrees.com  Founder Institute New York Toptal Audible   ========== This episode of Ambition Today is supported by: + Founder Institute New York: goo.gl/RGezjW   + Toptal: goo.gl/OObfM9 + Audible: goo.gl/Urjq6k ========== Visit Ambition Today on the Web: www.siskar.co/ambitiontoday  Follow Kevin Siskar on Twitter: twitter.com/TheSiskar   Follow Kevin Siskar on Instagram: instagram.com/thesiskar Follow Kevin Siskar on Facebook: facebook.com/kevin.siskar Add Kevin Siskar on Snapchat: snapchat.com/add/krsiskar Kevin Siskar brings you ambitious entrepreneurs inspired by Tim Ferriss, How I Built This, Residual Income, Entrepreneur on Fire, NPR, HBR, TED Radio Hour, the StartUp podcast, Pat Flynn, Tony Robbins, The Uncertain Hour, Bigger Pockets, Art of Charm, Dave Ramsey, Planet Money, Jocko Podcast, EntreLeadership, Zigler, APM Marketplace, Mixergy, Seth Godin, GaryVee, James Altucher, Monocle 24, How to Start a Startup, and The $100 MBA Show with Omar Zenhom, and Casey Neistat.
