Lessons from Alexis Ohanian

Lesson #1: Don’t Choose Risk-Averse Mentors

Lesson #2: Hold on to Your Perspective

You should stick to what you believe in regardless of the challenges that you face. Alex had the worst experience as an entrepreneur. His dog died, his girlfriend went into a coma, and his mother was diagnosed with cancer. All that never changed his perception.

Lesson #3: Never Underestimate your Success

What Alex achieved in one year with his Reddit was beyond his expectations. When starting a business, be ready for such surprises.

The story of Indra explains the need to have a perfect work-life balance. Leave your crown on your desk when leaving the office.

As an entrepreneur, you always learn. Be ready to be a student for the rest of your life when starting a business. It offers you more experience than what you can possibly learn in the classroom.
