At this stage you have nothing to lose; you can literally do anything.
Whatever it takes mentality!
You are only limited by current physics; nothing is impossible if you don’t break any physical law!
Bias towards action
Creators win, consumers lose, period!
Speed is the only moat you have!
Inaction is a disease; everyday counts, each fucking day!
Be a very high agency person.
Have maniacal sense of urgency.
Let your work do the talking.
Humans? Interesting species tbh
Be okay with people not liking you, focus on the ones who do like you, no need to please anyone, you will go a long way!
Never delay settling things with people you trust and wanna work with. Communication is key; no grudges, settle immediately, have hard conversations. Don’t hold things inside your brain for long.
Always try to understand people’s incentives when talking to them → use that to create win-win scenarios.
Don’t talk directly with people, use a funny jargon/abstraction layer to talk → you can be direct in professional settings xP
Be unique, be urself, be vulnerable - be very fuckin you! (inpiration from silicon valley TV show).
Hype people up man, you never know who's having a bad day!
Be radically open-minded → Look for insightful people who look at things differently
Don't go out and network for the sake if it, do great work and put stuff out there; great people will reach out!
Try to manufacture luck
Be visible online - opportunities come from there
Don’t be afraid to post online, no one cares :)
Try to incorporate content creation in existing workflows.
Cold email is king, find relevant and imp people and dm, don't ask for things, instead provide them value first!
Starting a company can be hard....
Entrepreneurship is the highest leverage multiplier.
High quality network = unlimited leverage.
Each new generation will have an inherent headstart in tech/knowledge.
First movers have a real advantage!
Just ship it, don’t overthink!
Aesthetics Matter
Frameworks are build to generalize scattered knowledge and expand in known directions - coding frameworks, business strategy frameworks, content creation frameworks.
Keep hiring smarter and smarter people in your company → you shouldn’t be the smartest, avg intelligence should go up, do not overhire, have small and agile companies, hire slow.
Each employee is a leverage multiplier, choose employees wisely.
Always remember the marriage between risk and reward!
Improvement framework
Pain + Reflection = Progress
Know ur Goals → Encounter Problems → Diagnosis for root cause of problems (reflection) → Design a plan to eliminate problems → Execute the designs (do it)
