Strange comment coming from an iconic entrepreneur…
Thankfully, we are living in the post industrial age when success is not tied to a lifelong career with a corporation. But the cliche is true: “Along with freedom comes great responsibility.” Entrepreneurs embrace the fact that their destiny is in their hands and not dependent on the prescribed rules of the corporate career ladder.
In the startup stage, your boss is not the shareholders. Your boss is the customer. This changes as you grow and take on investors and other stakeholders but a least in the early days, you have the singular focus of satisfying one group. This is the stage where value is created. Embrace it and work maniacally toward getting note customers.
As for Mr. Turner’s opinion, you’ll work harder than any job you ever had enriching someone else.
