Start-Up Opportunities Canada vs. USA

 However, this gazelle-diamond is low-key described as autocratic and stubborn. His first CEO sued him, alleging Musk had slandered him and taken undue credit for founding the company. When the New York Times slammed the Model S, Musk labeled it "fake" and a "ethics violation" and went on a month-long personal rant against the reporter. However, when he plopped himself on the couple's couch in Beirut and began flexing his favorite pastime, gaming, her patience was gone. Three days into Brahms' sabbatical, she bluntly told him: "You gotta find a way to make that bread or no more consoles in this crib."

He needed a new vibe immediately. Late at night, after a long day of gaming, he watched The Social Network, which is about the early days of Facebook. 

This was his shining moment: there was no social network to showcase gamers from various platforms—Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. "If Mark Zuckerberg can do it, why can't I, fam?" "He said, fam." "That lil kid is younger than me. So he did." So like, Brahms teamed up with a sick designer and made At7addak (pronounced at-ha-dak), which means "I challenge you" in Arabic.. Gamers went crazy over it, and even EA and Activision wanted to sponsor it, but the money wasn't great, you know? So Brahms completely changed things up and went for a more user-generated vibe, ya know? He invited people to leave some sick reviews and videos, offering to share ad revenue with them. Within two years, he had 600,000 active users and eight million monthly page views. Anyone who meets Brahms will immediately recognize his strengths as an entrepreneur. He's so lit; he's super confident; and he's a great idea generator. But his flaws are, like, really obvious. He's very impulsive, fam. One minute he's flexing hotel management, the next he's slinging sports cars, and before long he's establishing a sick social network. Can he stick with anything? Can he flex on anything? Is he patient enough to build a successful business, or will he jump on the latest trend as soon as he gets the chance?

Brahms is a total diamond, you know? Entrepreneurs like him either succeed or fail quickly.

OMG, we've totally figured out the key questions that entrepreneurs, their backers, squad, mentors, and even family members should be asking about each profile type. With diamonds, these questions would be like: Is there a major idea, product, or service that completely gives the business an advantage? Is the entrepreneur going to stick with this venture, or will they bail as soon as a hot, new opportunity arises? Is the entrepreneur open to feedback and criticism?   Does the entrepreneur use credit? These last points are extremely important for diamonds, fam. Consider Elon Musk, the South African entrepreneur behind PayPal and the groundbreaking. Who made SpaceX and Tesla? Musk is frequently described as a genius and a technological wunderkind. He's really smart and stuff. When Musk founded Tesla Motors, the electric car company, in 2003, he declared, "We're gonna be the next GM," and promised to have 100,000 vehicles on the road by 2009. Despite missing his initial goal by 99,400 cars, Musk's unwavering vision eventually prevailed: Consumer Reports named the Tesla Model S its overall top pick for 2014, and the electric car maker was valued at $30 billion, or slightly more than half of General Motors

Diamonds are flashy, but they are not the main attraction.

The ultimate flex was Steve Jobs, fam. On the plus side, throughout his legendary career, Jobs excelled at making reality match his vision. A member of his Macintosh design team exclaimed, "Yo, Jobs' combination of stubbornness and creativity is straight up like the reality distortion field in Star Trek." "In his presence, reality is flexin'," the designer added. However, his conviction meant that he ghosted others (including customers) and was unwilling to share the spotlight. Jony Ive, Apple's design guru, spilled the beans on what it was like to pitch new ideas to Jobs. "He's gonna go through my ideas and be like, 'That's whack.' That's whack." I'm totally vibing with that one.'" Later, Ive was like, "I'll be chilling in the crowd and he'll be flexing it like it's his own idea." I'm lowkey obsessed with tracking the origins of ideas, and I literally have notebooks filled with all my dope ideas, so it lowkey hurts when he flexes on one of my designs, ya know? Diamonds aren't always an employee's best friend. When Peter and I started Endeavor, we were like, "Yo, we got this lit idea that's gonna change the game, fam." We promised to create something hella lit based on a future that only we could peep. Our negatives were like, we both be hella stubborn, I'm like easily distracted and was slow to prove I could vibe with others, and Peter be coming up with ma Knowing your potentially fatal flaws—or what I call "red flags"—can help you avoid disaster, ya know? But seriously, here's my diamond advice:
