Twitter Chairman & Square CEO Jack Dorsey spoke at the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference. From the article on his talk…
Dorsey asked founders and entrepreneurs to “pick a movement, a revolution, and join it” — as if to say that anything is worse than not being a part of something, contributing to a movement forward, rather than adding friction and moving against.
I totally agree. When you’re starting a company, do something that changes/adds to the world. Have a cause. This will allow you to build an amazing community, both inside and outside the company. It gives people a reason to work hard. They realize they’re working on/for something bigger than themselves. I’ve seen this first hand at HelloWallet.
