"Determination. That is by far the most important quality." @jesslivingston
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Most founders I know feel a little insane. They keep pushing forward when everything seems to be opposing them. Seems to be a strength!
@ycombinator @IrenaCronin @jesslivingston Wow, thanks for sharing 🙏
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Goes right along with resilience
@ycombinator @jesslivingston ⁃Determination. ⁃Understanding users. ⁃Great user experience. ⁃Avoid distraction. ⁃Flexible mindset. ⁃Good and convincing leader.
@ycombinator @jesslivingston GRIT + healthy denial of failure
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Believing in yourself and in your mission and in the world, is how I would frame.
@ycombinator @WholeMarsBlog @jesslivingston "Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard" | I forgot who said this
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Quiz - who said “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.”?
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Applies to startups and life.
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Agree...knowing there will be light at the end of the tunnel when you only see darkness is the real superpower! But it requires another level of determination from the vast majority of people as darkness can last years...
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Totally agree with this conversation. Just like how we started @TechforKidsAcad. Stay Curious. Learn Different.
@ycombinator @sachinjain024 @jesslivingston be like water 🌊
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Thanks for sharing.
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Determined to apply to YC until you get in!
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Thanks for sharing! Amazing Interview!
@ycombinator @jesslivingston You're right! Unfortunately, that's not the reality, especially, funding early-stage startups. The “color” of the founders even determines whether or not they get funding. How many @ycombinator unicorns are BLK founders? TOTAL 0%. The system screwed and favors a select few :(
@ycombinator @jesslivingston The usual gobbledegook n0nsense! Be Determined yet Flexible Don’t get ‘lured down several paths’ but ‘try new directions’ 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Even ai can endorse ...
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Why sales skills matter Early in life...
@ycombinator @jesslivingston Maybe, it's important but not the most important thing which is the money. The folks don't tell you show me the determination but they tell you show me the money.
@ycombinator @jesslivingston for startup founders > "Determination. That is by far the most important quality."
@ycombinator @jesslivingston I always love when Jessica speaks
