A business doesn't need a mission, a vision, a guiding light, or a north star to stay in business. It doesn't need AI or this framework or that tech stack. It doesn't need an investor, a board, or the backing of X, Y, or Z.
It just needs to make more than it spends.
Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together.

“I like hard things because it takes a long time to do. If it takes a long time to do, it takes a really resilient person to do it.”
