        If they agreed to be on the team but don’t make time for meetings, you haven’t really built a team have you 🙂

        Keeping a team motivated enough to see something through.

        Where's the "getting other people to care about it once it's finished" option?

        Well if you’re thinking about physics, it’s interesting... the public cares enough to fund “science” generally with taxes, which ultimately pays for people like you, but you don’t actually need anyone but a few advanced peers to actually care about specifics of your output right?

        Marco Benedettelli Retweeted Michael Seibel

        https://twitter.com/mwseibel/status/1174374900439470080 … @mwseibel's thread sums it up perfectly I think. Self-management, groupthink & some degree of confirmation bias might play a huge indirect role in bringing one project to life. (Heaven for individualists & more second-order, but still relevant imo)

        Marco Benedettelli added,

        To sum up - one of the underrated qualities of successful founders is their ability to manage their emotions and fears while still executing.

        Picking any given idea to build vs another / commitment / succumbing to opportunity cost analysis. Or project to spend time on (better way to put it) vs another.
