Business Building

You need 2 types of people to keep early-stage startups from stagnating: - someone who’ll shamelessly sell the product before it’s fully ready to be sold - someone who’s embarrassed by this and will push to improve the product faster

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.

One of the biggest reasons it gets harder to do new things as you get older is that new things are generally undignified at first (indeed, this is an excellent heuristic for discovering them) and the older you get, the more dignified you're expected to be.
