After high school, my five year plan was to become a great programmer and to be able to build applications. 

Did that. 

After college, my five year plan was to become a startup founder. 

Kinda did that but not as a founder role, rather as an employee first-hire. 

I’ve learned that a startup can mean many things; could be a company with low head count that has existed for 5+ years or a VC-backed idea.

Now that was 5 years ago, I have to recalibrate my goals. 

I have decided my next five year plan is to be a key player in an efficient business. 

Feels like a demotion but it doesn’t have to be. I’ve learned it takes a flexible team with balanced skillsets to accomplish that and doing it alone is lonely and improbably unrealistic. 

I still see myself as a glue guy and great team player, thats why I added the key player part. 

Efficient business means sustainably generating revenue for a product people are willing to pay for. 

How that plays out? We will see.

five months ago, I changed my goal from being a founder to being a "key player in an efficient business"

I was burnt out from building with no measurable success or traction and thought I would never do it

right when you're at your lowest and have nothing to lose, things start to take shape
