2020 — Don’t share the intention of launching your startup with your friends
Sharing guarantees nothing, but may simply create an illusion of premature completeness.
Welcoming the new year — 2020, we’re finally stepping into the 20s of the 21st century. Please cheer for yourself, because we’re the only live human beings ever in human history to be able to celebrate the first day of 2020!
Joking aside. It’s always exciting to celebrate the new year. Around the world, many thousands of people gather at places like New York’s Times Square, Paris’s Eiffel Tower, Taipei’s 101, and Sydney’s Opera House, counting down the clock together.
We’re all hopeful for the new year — Great things will happen — it’s time to make a new year resolution.
My new year resolution is to lose 20 pounds of weight.
My new year resolution is to bump my salary to 6 figures.
My new year resolution is to write a sci-fi novel about alien invasion.
For many of us, our new year resolution is to launch our first startup. Whether it’s a website, a consulting company, or a bakery shop, we’ve been thinking about that for years.
