    The one area of my life I can be better about is focus. I take up many side projects, and lose track of priority. I’m going to try forming better habits around keeping up with, and prioritizing side projects.

    In our distracted world, focus can actually be a huge competitive advantage. The best way to improve focus is through training - regular periods of solitude and contemplation through meditation, or a hobby that doesn't involve consuming information.

    Kodak was a Goliath in photography. By 1976, 85% of cameras & 90% of film sold in US was Kodak. Kodak engineers invented the world's first DSLR. But their marketing & sales killed the project to avoid cannibalization of the film market Lesson: Reinvent b4 youre forced to.

    The best businesses reinvent themselves based on customer expectations. But why do so few do so before the market forces them to? Because reinvention means making bold choices, and business leaders fear impact on bottom line revenue.

    Customer reviews help understand market perception But consumers may also have unrealistic expectations, resulting in unfair reviews. You can see this all the time on app reviews on the app store. How can u turn unfair reviews to our advantage? By embracing them like

    When you hold a glass of water for a minute, it doesn't hurt your arm. But when you hold it for a day, it hurts. Stress is like holding onto a glass of water for a long period of time. it doesn't matter how much it weighs, it'll hurt eventually when you hold onto it.

    Once then the CEO of Google, shared a concern: “Every 2 days we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization until 2003" We have a problem of abundance. Too much of everything. In the information age, solitude can be a competitive advantage

    Quibi, the app for 10 min bite sized videos is not gaining traction. Could this be blamed on COVID? Partly Theres too much competition in streaming. Compelling content is key to retention Hopefully they figure out how to make the 10m format, mobile-only episodes a must-watch

    Exponential growth gets all the glory. Every startup story that lands on the cover of a magazine has a hockey-stick chart to flaunt. Linear growth is what happens in domains that aren’t animated by network effects. It’s the simplicity of good products sold at reasonable prices

    Great example of how startups can avoid taking too much VC money up front, and focus on gaining traction. You dont need a full fledged, built platform to gaintracti The founder of created a demo video of his technology tons signing up for a beta before he fully built it

    Non-venture scale businesses are typically bootstrapped or the founders save capital for a couple of years & then launch off savings My favorite hack is pre-selling to customers Startups are always hard, it’s massively harder when you’re poor or an outsider/first timer.

    The tech media is obsessed with innovation. 10x better seems cooler than 10% better. The problem is that this 10X is often focused purely on the idea; rather than the execution of that idea. The best products incrementally build over their strengths. Execution > Innovation
