It’s not that there are no rules in startups…. but the rules can be questioned and changed swiftly when needed.

🤔 I talk to founders all the time who say “I don’t have any peers”… and reference all the SDE peers or marketing peers they had in corporate that they miss. You have peers 👉 they are other founders. If you are a solo founder it is true that you don’t have any peers in your organization. But other founders at a similar stage with a similar business model are likely going through very similar things. And you can be selective… find some peers at an earlier stage and some at a later stage. Some cross-industry insights also might be valuable. So the “peer” may be less obvious and have more characteristics to choose from but they do exist! If you don’t find any in your city, erase geographical constraints by going to the web 💻

In case you missed it -> Midjourney finally has a web app! No more going to Discord if that is not your thing. Also more settings and editing available now. I've been enjoying the level of realism possible(my main use case is marketing materials) but also the semi-realistic/aspirational generation like this photo of my future office 😉

Daily reminder that behavior is dictated by incentives. "Show me the incentives and I'll tell you the outcome" Congrats to Nigeria for removing diesel subsidies.

It's always hard. But having clarity of vision and strategy means one hard thing done, really hard thing(execution) to go. But having lack of clarity and executing at the same time leads to very negative synergistic effects.

Idling ICE vehicles in a parking garage should be enough to make everyone want EVs... It is nice when breathing is possible.

Most people operate on "Take Only" mode. But "Give & Take" mode is so much better.
