Self Made Billionaire Says Top Entrepreneurs Lack Frameworks and Are Not Smartest
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
LUCY GUO: The Most Common Success Advice That's Secretly Holding You Back
What was said
"I think the people at the top are actually not the smartest people in the world at all. I think that they lack frameworks. And because they lack frameworks, they don't understand a concept of like how the world works. Which is actually very good because startups are built when you break frameworks."
Guo reveals successful founders often succeed precisely because they lack industry expertise and established frameworks, allowing them to demand the impossible from PhD-level employees. She cites Uber and Airbnb as examples where founders without transport or real estate backgrounds could innovate because they didn't know the rules.
