Long term thinking doesn’t always apply. If you’re going to exit in a year then think short term. But if you’re growing an org from $30M to $100 then figure out long-game.

Willpower is doing the right things in the difficult times. Builders know this. It’s incredibly hard to build anything. Even if you have money it is NOT easy. Willpower matters a lot.

In the days before social media it was easy to focus on the good in the world. Now that everything is out in the world it’s much more difficult to stay positive about things. You have to be super deliberate about it and you STILL will face very crazy & negative input into your…

It's so easy to be a jerk to people once you make it. I see so many people fall into that trap. Then life slaps them upside their head & suddenly they are humble again. Don't be that person!

Spent some time recently deep-diving into all the doom-and-gloom AI news for devs and honestly? It feels like the situation may actually be much better than is being portrayed. 🪤 Most new articles are clickbait. Almost every story is written (GPT-ed?) by an entry-level…

Soon, ‘recommended for you’ will feel as old-fashioned as telling someone to ‘hang up the phone.’ Once personalization is the default, the idea of generic content will seem like a relic of the analog age.

It is very rare for super successful people to share their money-making secrets. I repeat, it's very rare for super successful people to share their money-making secrets. Moderately successful people will. So will unsuccessful people. That's why @AlexHormozi is so popular.…

Even if AI stopped evolving right now once companies figure out how to use / adopt it the amount of carnage it will create will be significant.

Truth? Few in your network really want you to succeed. Find the ones that do and stay loyal to them!

Staying focused is hard. So we invent hacks: ice baths, perfect sleep routines, productivity rituals. But focus isn’t a hack. It’s a habit you build. A skill you sharpen. But most people never do.

The people you least expect will help you. The people you thought would help you, won't. What's the learning here? We're not always good judges of character. And people often don't reveal their true selves. Roll with the people who are genuine.

Punch cards gave way to assembly programmers. Assembly programmers gave way to modern devs. Modern devs will give way to AI engineers. AI engineers will give way to AGI (if it ever happens).

Leveling up means losing something of the old. A friend. A habit. A mindset. True change comes with loss.

The most underrated career hack is responding to people's emails quickly. Show's respect and kindness and others love being heard. It makes a world of a difference.

One unfortunate truth about life: When you’re building a thing, people around you are generally attracted to your end success, not the long struggle. It can be your friends or even loved ones — they just want to applaud the final result. You alone must deal with the…

All the times you thought everything was fucked and it all passed. And now you're on to a new set of problems; sitting there worrying. Meanwhile, life is slipping away.

It’s funny, in the early days of the Internet, we couldn’t stop giving it ridiculous names: - The Information Superhighway - The World Wide Web - And “Cyberspace” Like somehow the Internet wouldn’t work unless we named it just right. Fast forward to today and we’re doing the…

Building a business is harder than staying with a 9 to 5. Don't let people tell you otherwise. If it was easier everyone would be building a business. It's not just hard -- it's 5x harder than a day job. But the upside is 20X.
