Catching LIGHTNING in a Bottle Made EASY

[@franktfrisby]

Catching lightening in a bottle is being in the right place at the right time. Meaning doing things others don’t see in advance. Nice Garry!!

Lightening in a bottle: persistency and luck cross paths

[@expertociber]

Trying to catch it right now. I'll apply to the next YC batch to try to hold onto it faster

[@JasonGoodison]

Another great video! This whole channel is lightning in a bottle ⚡⚡

[@RoadmapMBA]

Great video! Loved it! We have the lightning, but we're applying to YC scale the execution 📈

Hi Gary, as a balding 27 year old your hair looks slick and classy on camera as if Apple company designed themselves.

I love the music background at the end. Could anyone tell what music title is that?

[@george_davituri]

so inspiring thanks, also need to watch that movie.

[@deeves3650]

Dude that’s a Calvin Coolidge quote, not ray crock lol

[@GarryTan]

oh yeah you're right. Thanks for the heads up.

[@somecallmemomo]

Loved the video, the story telling and key message! Any tips on how to transitioning as a founder from 0 -> 1 to 1 -> 100... stage?

[@Jessyco]

I think the quote is from Calvin Coolidge not Ray ..

[@josephemenike4960]

Gary!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@antoinescicluna1535]

I am obviously interested in your teaching/messages, but I must ask a question which is off topic. Please can you tell me who has produced the music of this video? I thank you in advance.

[@Hastingsnow]

Thank you!

[@lijames8989]

Well said!

[@theweeklysqueal]

Very nice

00:49 images were probably generated by AI. Tho. apart from this Gary, I want to meet you one day to thank you for helping me in all these challenging days of mine.

[@gaminglikeapro2104]

Great video. I'll show you "lightening in a bottle" every day of the week. The problem is access to money to execute. The rest is secondary.

[@mosecassaro]

I disagree, capture the lightening in the bottle - money is secondary and will come regardless. VCs compete to invest into idea’s that are truly unique and valuable - as Garry said, execution is far more important, ideas are cheap. You just need to be able to sell your vision - if you have such idea’s as you say, I don’t doubt you, bootstrap and get them out in the world! Reach out to me you are ready with something proprietary, I will help you get in front of VCs for no cost. Be honest with yourself! Goodluck!

[@gaminglikeapro2104]

​@@mosecassaro I honestly have tons of ideas to the point that I have to stop myself from coming up with new ideas. I can execute as well and I have many times but the returns were low.I.e. I m better off with a job. For VCs, I have contacted a few (not many) and by definition they give seed money in the 10/20K USD range. That is not enough as I can work and save that amount myself. I need serious financial backup so I can work flat-out.I'll find a way. Thanks for the reply though.

[@mosecassaro]

@@gaminglikeapro2104 I hear ya! A lot of ideas or successful businesses we see today no one believed in at first - as a founder you have to make sacrifices - bootstrapping is what’s required sometimes when ideas are in their early stage and don’t have a product market fit yet. From an investors POV, would you put money into something that isn’t generating revenue if the returns were low on those ideas like you had mentioned? Shopify had no outside funding for 6 years - founders just sustained working jobs and kept the business running through the minimal revenue it generated until they reached PMF. Being a founder is not easy, and a successful one is even harder. But if you have generated 10-20k before and you find a scalable market I have no doubt you can do it again. Sometimes you do have to give up that higher paying job to run a startup like Bezos did - but I usually advise to bootstrap while working your job specially during a downturn. You could potentially find similar minded individuals and bring them on as co-founders and create a team if you can sell your vision and show some traction - to get the product up and running. Numerous startups take on funding too soon or too much and also fail, that is also an equally undesirable spot to be in. Trust your gut!

[@mosecassaro]

Then again, I’m just another person online giving advice - much smarter and more successful people around. Your network can be your biggest asset! Get out there and meet likeminded people with an intent to help - you never know who can bring what to the table. I get nothing out of writing these comments but one day you might actually be a successful founder and we might connect somewhere and laugh about this! Always help and you’ll get help in return when you need it. Best way to find a great future team and co-founders also!

[@Nashadelicable]

The persistance quote qppears to belong to Calvin Coolidge

[@TheEndevour2010]

I think I’m in that position now. Have an app (actually two on both stores and ready for market). But that leap as a sole founder and full time job holder is really hard. But I agree with you Gary, execution is another beast to tame.

What’s the app called ?

Nice video But one note - if Ray Kroc made the , "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence..." speech then he did so by plagiarizing Calvin Coolidge, who said it first!
