3 most stressful things about business:
1. Growth
2. Profit
3. Trying to switch between the Calendar app and Phone app fast enough to type in the conference call code before the woman’s voice tells you to start over again.

The two most important qualities in a founder are self-awareness and a growth mindset.
Self-awareness = knowing what you need to improve
Growth mindset = you can improve anything

I used to think as an entrepreneur everything I’d got I’d earned.
More recently I’ve realized there was a huge amount of infrastructure set up for me to make it (educated workforce, execs, the internet) and I really controlled a much smaller % of the outcome than I’d thought.

Product debates should only be allowed if there is a visual reference, otherwise it’s purely academic.
