Founders

1/2 spending time with my dad over the past 24 hours, I got an unexpected and pleasant refresher on what it means to be a founder.

dad is 67, a first-generation entrepreneur, has been running his business for the past 45 years. like him, I'm quite the 'old school' founder at heart.

here's a few things that jumped out seeing/hearing him as he navigated his day:

- you gotta show up every day. building something that lasts takes real hard work. there's a thrill in tackling new problems every day; you never feel settled. It's a curse, but mostly a good one.

- do at least two things well: have conviction about where you want your business to be in five years, and be right about what to execute in the next year. essentially, solve today's obstacles while heading in the right direction. all other things will figure themselves out, iteratively.
