Market rate for your income is a function of A) your skills and B) your ability to sell. How much $ you make will always be constrained by your weak variable, not your strong one

When categories mature to feature parity, belief systems are the best long term advantage
Time suck simple bullshit must be avoided at all costs. Where's my phone, what's the pw, how do we get there, etc. etc. Living in 45 countries & also running companies has increased my brain's abilities in this regard. Do more. Just organize, prepare, delegate. Not that hard.

Learning to love the balance sheet. Never gets enough but so worthy.
All thing change in the passage of time. Therefore to be best equipped to create the future, we must first understand the past.
DTC/ecom spending big $ on FB ads to grow is equivalent to SaaS dumping $ into engineers to build product. Do it to grow. Secure the brand moat/first party customer data/codebase and THEN cut adspend/dev staff and optimize opex. Ecom stage 2 = customer base you can launch new…
Real benefits of being American: access to the best job market, capital market, high tax brackets, strong passport/visa free to a ton of countries, huge amounts of good land, equal parts most opportunity for literally anything and a mindset to take risks to get the payoff
Buyer wants to close in 13 days. Literally just found the deal yesterday. 'that's extremely aggressive' overriden. So... 2 days in so far & it just might work out. High spice factor on this one.
Paid marketing as a capital allocation decision is an underrated point of view
D.O.T.S. = don't over think shit Your friendly reminder today
If you work in spreadsheets you should buy this mouse. Instant horizontal scroll is a game changer.
Why do developers love adding dark mode in the UI? Zero impact on actual function. You can do that for fun off-hours bc I ain't paying for that.
Not sure who needs to hear this, but not all products should be subscriptions. That's why your churn is so high.
Vision timescale on Orchestration is 10 years. Maybe more. I'm 13 months in now & only just getting started.
No one thinks they're the bad guy. Behind every asshole, enemy, shitty ex, and pessimistic naysayer is a righteous point of view.
Once your eyes open to cash/accrual reality, you can never go back... Friend posts a hype story about her biz doing a $5k day / $10k day and all I can think about is how the fulfillment period of those sales is 3 months

One of the worst kinds of businesses is one that sells something to a price sensitive consumer. My nightmare business is a software company that creates software for school teachers to help them manage their class schedule. Why? Because the ultimate customer is a teacher.…
This is an excellent test of your company’s values. Does having your senior leaders stay in cheap hotels make sense? It depends: a) yes — if your business is thin-margin or competes on price, and prides itself on watching costs. b) no — if your business is higher margin, the…
