“It's an overnight success story that took 10 years. For me it's like you got to be patient with the results but you got to be impatient with your action. Put yourself out there, do as much thing as possible, don't be afraid to document, never give up, believe in yourself and always invest in yourself. The outcome you will never control it and the only thing you can control is how you work on yourself.”

Guillaume reframes the ten-year grind as patience with outcomes paired with relentless impatience on inputs. The only lever a founder controls is action and self-investment, so optimize every job, event, and experience for what you learn from it.
