So, in front of us we have a very eloquent and well written article talking about very serious issues that take place in the entrepreneurial community... and you're going to dismiss it because the writer decided to have fun for a split second?
Gimme a break.

#4Gary vee talks like he does something amazing while what he does can really be done by a good cold caller. I don't see what he has done to earn the recognition he has. I agree with the author. Selling a $90 poster that basically is the worst advice you can give to an entrepreneur.

Gary Vee's main resume star is that he has become successful and well known. He has become more of a celebrity than an oracle, and many of his side-companies have not done well. Still, his main points that the internet has changed the way of doing business and you need to utilize social media to be successful are sound.

#6Great article. Working on my own startup (https://encore.dev) I also feel the urge to measure my progress in terms of output, not outcomes. I have to constantly remind myself that what matters is the outcome. Focus on producing a concrete, visible artifact every day and use that as your measure of progress instead.
And make sure to stay sane; startups are not a balanced lifestyle but that just means we need to push ourselves harder to find balance, as opposed to pushing ourselves even further out of balance.

#9This article should be another datapoint in every entrepreneur's handbook that simply going through the YC and Silicon Valley VC community does not ensure good outcomes. Owning 100% of a company making $1M/year is far more rewarding and valuable than owning 1% of a company making $100M/year.
Consider YC as a last resort if you have no other options.
