HUSTLE

Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. This improves the odds of success.

Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is.

Work like there is someone working 24 hours a day to take it all away from you.

What I've learned is that if you really want to be successful at something, you'll find that you put the time in. You won't just ask somebody if it's a good idea — you'll go figure it out.

When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.

Hustle isn't a dirty word. Outworking the competition is a legitimate edge.

There's a version of this that works and a version that doesn't. And both of them require the same amount of work.

Fear is the disease. Hustle is the antidote.

Every time a competitor adds a feature, we already shipped it last month.

I dropped out of college because I couldn't sit still long enough to finish a degree. Turns out that energy is pretty useful for building a startup.

If you want work-life balance, Revolut is probably not the right place for you. We're building something unprecedented and that requires unprecedented effort.

We didn't ask restaurants for permission to list them. We just put up their menus and started delivering. You can apologize later for making someone money.

I ordered a six-pack of beer through the app and delivered it to the YC partner's house during my application. Sometimes the demo IS the pitch.

I personally emailed the first 5,000 users and gave them my phone number. Some of them actually called. That's how you learn what people want.
