“Making money is like having an orgasm: you would never get it if you focus on it. It has to be a byproduct of the things you really enjoy doing.” — Naveen Jain
On this episode of The Less Doing Podcast, you’ll get to know Naveen’s two most recent ventures, Moon Express and Viome, alongside his brilliant advice for entrepreneurs in creating successful work endeavors.
Naveen’s Advice — How do you know if your dream is realistic?
- Think ‘God forbid, if I succeed, is it going to change the lives of 1 billion people around the world?’ If the answer is no, then it’s not worth doing.
- When you tell them your idea and they don’t think your crazy, you’re not thinking big enough.
“Always remember the life of an entrepreneur is like a heartbeat…
it’s always up and down. When it’s smooth, you’re already dead and you just don’t know it yet.”
