NOBODY. IS. COMING. TO. SAVE. YOU.
A life lesson I wish I learned earlier: You are in control. Of everything. It's all on you. Nobody is coming to save you. But you are entirely capable of figuring it out. Of squeezing everything you want out of this life. You are at the wheel. Never let go.

If you ever do find the thing you truly love to do that is also making something people want, all you have to do is nose to the grindstone on that thing, and compounding takes care of the rest! There are few bigger blessings in life than discovering what that is.

There’s nothing better than a hard-earned breakthrough. You kept showing up when the rewards were uncertain. When it was lonely. When you were misunderstood. And then one day, there it is. A tiny spark. A sliver of light. It’s the moment you realize every unseen rep was worth it.

There are roughly three kinds of people in the world: 1) those who focus on the past 2) those who focus on the present 3) those who focus on the future Most people get stuck in (1) and live life largely as a bystander. They become life’s hall monitors as others wiz by them. Some people are amazing at dealing with what’s in front of them (2) but are not able to think about what’s around the corner. They still do well and generally have a great life. They are wonderful people to hire after 0 to 1 and are optimistic contributors. The last group of people (3) are extremely well rewarded for being right but the cost is high. They break the social norms, say the heterodox thing and generally are gruff and disagreeable to most others. There is no right path, but if you don’t know which one you are, you are destined for a very unfulfilling existence because you will be unprepared to deal with other people and them living out their roles. Think about it.

1. Think about what you want your future to look like, and 2. Filter every decision through that. Will it get you closer to this vision or not? If not --> Cut If so --> Pursue Keep testing what you take on, and think of the end results.

Be a person who runs hard at things, that the whole world believes they shouldn't have. Want it all, work hard, and have the unending drive to take it.

No more pennies. This should make economic "cents"... @DOGE
The penny costs over 3 cents to make and cost US taxpayers over $179 million in FY2023. The Mint produced over 4.5 billion pennies in FY2023, around 40% of the 11.4 billion coins for circulation produced. Penny (or 3 cents!) for your thoughts.

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Talent and intelligence are abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t.

Retail is eating VC. It’s easier to syndicate deals than raise a fund, and more startups are raising directly from their communities.
