good morning believe nation today’s
message is create a business you won’t
sell over to you Evan Spiegel TV go so
I’m asked one question most often why
didn’t you sell your business it doesn’t
even make money it’s a fad you could be
on a boat right now everybody loves
boats what is wrong with you and I’m now
convinced that the fastest way to figure
out if you’re doing something that is
truly important to you is to find to
find someone who will offer you a bunch
of money to part with it see the best
thing is that no matter whether or not
you sell you will learn something very
valuable about yourself if you sell you
will know immediately that it wasn’t the
right dream anyways and if you don’t
sell you’re probably on to something
maybe you have the beginning of
something meaningful there’s a lot of
books out there there’s a lot of thought
leaders out there talking about how to
sell a business how to build a company
to flip it or to sell it and that is
something that I just fundamentally am
not in agreement with I think the work
that you’re doing should be something
that you really absolutely believe in
and where you spend your time should be
about trying to make a meaningful impact
and not just trying to build something
up to sell it to somebody else and so
for those of you who are of that mindset
you’re probably not going to enjoy this
video but I approach it like a
relationship you couldn’t offer me
enough money to want to leave my wife to
go do something else you couldn’t offer
me enough money to want to sell my
business to go do something else if you
paid me x millions of dollars to sell it
to you and then I could never help
entrepreneurs again you know I wouldn’t
take that deal because i love what i do
i think at the core is you have to find
the thing that you love doing stop
looking for businesses just to make you
money but that you can get lost in that
become a piece of you now if you grow
and evolve when your business doesn’t
grow and evolve with you and that means
you stop loving it and you need to sell
it fine but the
10th going in is I want this to last
forever because you make different
decisions because you care more because
you value the work that you’re doing in
the process of building something and by
doing that you create a company that
inherently becomes much more valuable
that’s the funny thing that by pouring
the love into it really caring about the
product and the service and the
processes you create something that’s
much more valuable than if you were
building something just to try to flip
it and sell to somebody else so if
you’re at the early stages of your
business you’re trying to grow it to the
next step I would HIGHLY encourage you
to buck those trends of building a
business a salad and instead think about
what is something that I can build that
is truly deeply meaningfully amazing and
valuable to me and the world and I could
not imagine giving up that I would do
this even if I wasn’t getting paid to do
it because I love the work so much you
find that and that’s we’re going to find
your ultimate paycheck your ultimate
value your ultimate contribution your
ultimate success your ultimate happiness
and so the question of the day today is
are you in the business now that you
would not sell I’m curious to find out
leaving the comments below I’m gonna
join in the discussion finally want to
give a quick shout out to coach my
lesson thank you so much for the love
and in buying a copy of my book and for
hailing me a cab in New York City when I
couldn’t get one myself I appreciate the
love those are you watching you on a
chance at a shadow in the future video
make sure to pick up a copy of the book
and email in your seats we keep track
thank you guys so much for watching have
an amazing day continue to believe or
whatever your one word is and i’ll see
you again tomorrow morning for another
shot events best oh wait espresso keep
eagle
