The definitive list of startup pivots Details behind 30+ pivots, including how they knew it was time to pivot, how long it took them to pivot, how they found their new idea, and more
“We’ve got to be excited about the future.” ~ Elon Musk
You’ll learn far more by trying something than you will thinking about it.
Sometimes you get what you want. Other times you get a lesson you need. It’s a win either way.
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are.” — Steve Jobs
I always tell people to follow their curiosity; maybe this is because I stayed up into the night in high school reading Brazilian Fintech 10k’s… The curiosity continues at Stripe Sessions 🤠
Not enough people take this seriously
if you don't know how to solve a problem, start by solving a lesser version of it

One of the greatest benefits of improving your listening skills is that you start paying much greater attention to the content, meaning, and relevance of what someone is saying and you start tuning out the other fluff that tends to entice & distract everyone else, such as the…
It's not the lack of intelligence, it's the lack of focus that is stopping you.
“If I waited until I felt like it I wouldn’t do 90% of what I’ve done in my life.” - Tony Robbins
