The bestsellng author of ‘I Will Teach You To Be Rich’ explains the big world outside of VC-funding and when it’s OK to rebel
Ramit Sethi has turned down an offer from Google and lost half of his college scholarship in poor investments. Sethi then went on to write a New York Times bestselling book called ‘I Will Teach You To Be Rich‘ and Co-founded a successful online portal called PBworks.
In the world of entrepreneurship, the act of turning down a stable career to risk in the startup world is a rebellious act in itself. But as Sethi points out, people have to earn the right to rebel, and that means proving they can be diligent and successful in other parts of life.
