Founders

One strange lesson I've learned as a founder is importance of distinguishing "good pain" from "dumb pain" – aka when to lean into hard things vs when to try something else.

Tier 0: run from all pain
Tier 1: ignore pain 
Tier 2: embrace good pain, avoid dumb pain

e.g.

good pain: hand to hand combat doing sales 

bad pain: trying to scale a process that doesn't need scaling

Founder @ /squad - Building the home for Web3 devs squadtalent.xyz

trying to scale into an outbound team / process when simply doing more outbound as a founder is enough

can you give an example of this "trying to scale a process that doesn't need scaling"

To "scale a process that doesn't need scaling" can be necessary so I'd give it a little credit...

It's better to work on something than nothing (minus during needed rest etc).

Example for me, when everyone was talking about the market I was learning and focusing on new apps being built etc.

I did my level 1 combatives in the Army so I guess I could use that but I rather not during the sales...let's discuss other methods...
