VC is great for the right business, but it’s not for everyone. As a founder, you have to ask if you are willing to give up success at all levels below a billion dollar valuation, for the chance to be a Unicorn.

Ambitious people should watch Jonah Hill’s documentary “Stutz” to get in touch with the underlying beliefs that fuel their ambition. A good friend of mine recommended it to me and I can't stop thinking about it. Through therapy, Jonah Hill uncovers the deep-seated sense of…
Finding Product Market Fit is for suckers. Nothing has burned more time or money than founders searching for product market fit with VC money. I learned this the hard way. Instead: Spend no money. Find a bunch of people with a big problem. And then try to sell them something…

I've heard the phrase "building a startup is like a slow motion knife fight." I think the plight of this bird is a better analogy.
Are You Stuck In A Feature Factory? Here's How To Tell (source: John Cutler)
Define enough or more will always be your master. I knew this subconsciously, but I was living out of sync with my values. It took the book The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel to break me out of my spell. - - - - - It came at the perfect time. I was reading this book in…

You don’t need investors or an accelerator to start a business. You can launch with paying customers instead.
95% of the VC backed companies don't work out. There are hundreds of reasons but below are the most common ones: - No product market fit (for large scale revenue) - Co-founder conflict - Took too long to go through the idea maze - The customers and market dynamics changed - Bad…
What I’m doing as 2nd-time founder and father of three young kids to set myself up for success this time around: Setting work boundaries for myself. • I only work from 8 to 5 (and rarely go over). • I don't work weekends anymore. • I take my family on a 1-2 month vacation…
Saying "no" to feature requests becomes a necessary skill to learn.
If I were raising money for a startup today, I would opt for the "one-and-done" round. It provides the most optionality to take different paths without opting into the VC game. • Raise $500K - $2M from angel investors and F&F. • Keep the team size to 8 or less. •…

I didn't get into YC. I'm 35 with a wife, two kids in school and I live 2,800 miles from San Francisco. I didn't get it because I didn't apply. Priorities change when raising a family. I'm simply not in a position to move away from my family for three months. I've put them…
As an entrepreneur I struggle with two seemingly opposing drives. The one that is not content with the world as the way it is and seeks to improve it. And the one that wants to appreciate life and be happy. I recently finished the Stephen Mitchell translation of the Tao Te…

@zero_to_seed And there's not many markets that can support that billion dollar unicorn
Here’s the problem with taking VC money: you HAVE to commit to the pie-in-the-sky idea that you get funded for. You’re on the track until it sells or it fails. But there is another world, and @LBacaj shares who helped him see it.
@davidnix_ Yes it does And freedom is what we all want
@MichaelScottBlu Agree. Money enables the freedom to say no. No to bad clients, bad bosses, and crappy jobs.
Startup founders please learn to say “no” to everything thats not a top priority because time is your most valuable asset.
If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, pause and make sure you want to go to space, you like the other people who are going, and you know the opportunity cost
@FounderKyle @zero_to_seed Happy to chat about the learning design / chopping up part. That's my jam. And if you're looking for a platform, I have a lead 🤣 my SaaS is built for this kind of content funnel
@FounderKyle @zero_to_seed You could create a funnel and have content on describing each of the above challenges (not the solution) and offer 1:1 coaching at a stepped rate One off 'pick a founders brain' as a one time call vs. some kind of ongoing fractional support. With good SEO and content marketing
@FounderKyle Hey Kyle, what most 0 - 1 or 1 - 10 startups need is actionable advice in the form of a strategy, plus some hands on work in actually executing the strategy. Most bootstrappers are spinning so many plates and read som much advice there just isn't enough hours in a day to…

a massive amount of human suffering comes from being painfully aware of a past version of yourself that wasn’t fully actualized and trying to make up for it with your present self — which is impossible. the only way forward is to shed the past.
@zero_to_seed Thanks for sharing this. Love the aspects of reality and look forward to seeing the documentary.
@zero_to_seed Man I gotta put this on my watch list! Biggest thing I've struggled with recently is trying to figure out what is the "freedom to" part... there's so many paths to take now and I can paralyzed by not knowing exactly what I want to do
Alongside the physical universe of people and everything that’s going on there is another universe that we have invented—of words and signs and numbers—that represent the physical world. And we are very, very preoccupied with this symbolic world, and we very often confuse it with…
Don’t see why artificial intelligence can’t take in a thousand data points and tell you if a property’s a good deal or not, instantly. It’s coming.
Emotion regulation is not about controlling what you feel. It's about choosing how you respond. Wise people don't suppress emotion. They find constructive ways to express it. Intense feelings don't always demand immediate reactions. They often benefit from deep reflection.
