Ep 478: Achieving Exponential Growth: Unleashing Success with Simon's Strategies

Sean: You seem to me like you're a very competitive person in a way, and I wonder why you like this so much that 21 years later it's still the same thing that you're doing only now you're running a business rather than being the one man person, one man team? Simon: Every high performer is competitive and every competitive person wants high performance. That is the nature of entrepreneurs. They want to create something out of nothing. They want to solve problems. That's what drives us right? And that's what creates all this energy. And that's why other people want to chip in and say, Wow, I want to be on your team. I want to be on this mission. I want to contribute to this train that's running. And so the train gets usually started by this passion of an individual, and then it becomes a team. It becomes a company, it becomes something global because of this energy. And yes, there is a positive competition in it. How can we improve stuff? How can we make the world a little bit better? How can we build something more useful than what we have right now? These are all competitive moments. How can we build it better? Right? You have to have some form of drive to build a company. You remember Elon Musk said building a company is like chewing glass while somebody is throwing a brick in your face. And so there is enough headwind you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't build a company if you are not driven. After all, it's meaningful to you, because it gives you energy. After all, it gives your life meaning and direction.
