- What you build in a bear may take many months to years to materialize into growth, be extra careful of pivoting away from a diamond mine- 
- Don’t optimize for valuation 
- The most high potential products are the unobvious ones, operating in small / new markets 
- Markets are a bigger predictor of your potential success than your product. Focus on markets. Build a surfboard for the next wave.
- Getting caught into CT trends or narratives is a disease against independent thought and critical thinking 
- VCs are as clueless as anyone, and get caught into CT trends as much as anyone else, there are always exceptions but founders often lean way too much into their advice
- You spend most of your time on stuff that literally does not matter, build products that people love and are gonna talk about to their friends. that’s it. That’s how most big companies got big
- Pay extra attention to who’s building currently, some of them will become massive during the next bull
