      I try to help people as much as I can. And it strikes me as strange that 90% of advice people I talk to need is just, "You can do it."

      You can code. You can start a business. You can do sales. You are smart. You are good enough.

      The longer I'm in/around businesses the more occasions to have to think "Jesus Christ *this* was what I was afraid of not being able to do?"

      Patrick is actually KNOWN for detailed posts on these topics. They’re just not super-frequent. Quality over frequency?

      Most people who consider me competent do so because when I was radically less competent I was persistently public about what I was doing.

          Which is LITERALLY one of my favorite things about you. That and your willingness to share your time w/in reason. Speaking of which…

          Hi Pat, I admire your work. I'd like you to share how you got to transit from not being so competent to where you are now? Thanks.
