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

Well said. 

The standard "no pain, no gain" applies to the startups, too. 

But, that does not mean the founders keep hurting themselves. 

They have to "pick their battles" !!

I think I'm an "ignore pain"

If I'm being honest
