Living life with regret, is no way to live. Shut the door on the past - you can't fix it, you can't change it, and it's not beneficial to focus there. Eyes forward, and create something amazing you'll be proud of.

Sometimes in life, nobody believes in you until everybody believes in you...and it can be funny how that works! The more important thing is during those difficult periods, to never lose belief in yourself...

Most people spend their lives inching the ball forward...but so many great moments come from the Hail Marys. Big plays with nothing to lose. Statistically unlikely, but a game changer when they hit.

When you look at social media it seems like founders all live like rockstars. But this belies the reality. The truth is being a founder can be one of the toughest, loneliest tasks you’ll ever face.

Lifestyle businesses get a bad rap. Not sure when it got associated with "not being ambitious". • Can work on your own terms AND grow a big company • Can be a small team AND make $100M • Can prioritize both your professional goals AND personal life This is the new path.

A startup has been closing multiple top talents so I reached out. First the founder proposed meeting the next day, which is a Sat. When I asked if he can do Monday 10:30 instead, he replied, “am or pm?”. Now I’m resisting all the urge to reply “pls send wiring instructions”.

Can you even see the teeny tiny pink bar on the graph below? That's the itty-bitty 1.9% of the 2022 VC funds that went to women-founded startups (down from the whopping 2.4% all-women teams raised in 2021). Sigh... techcrunch.com/2023/01/18/wom

People who don't understand startups sometimes try to claim that successful founders merely got lucky. If a startup required only a single decision, this could be true. But a startup involves thousands of decisions, most of which you have to get right.
