At a certain size, the job of a founder switches from building a product to building a company. It drove me crazy for a while to not be building a product directly ... until I realized that for a founder, the company is the product.

The biggest generator of long term results is learning to do things when you don't feel like doing them.
If you let excuses or emotion drive behavior, you're cheating yourself.
Put aside the excuses and start doing what you need to do.

“You’re probably right” is becoming one of my favorite phrases.
Whenever someone disagrees with you on a small matter (read: most things), you can just shrug, say “you’re probably right” and move on.
Not caring about winning trivial arguments saves so much time and energy.

Design Skill: A Comparison
Tesla: Cutout is sized for the cable to fit inside, sheltered, and follow its contours
Lincoln: Rips off Tesla's design, but makes the cutout a little too small for the cable, so it sticks out awkwardly.
Ford: "I'm not even going to try"

Your product & your company's culture are represented in the defaults selected for the people it serves.
e.g. Apple asks you if you're willing to be tracked vs Google default: you must opt-out.

Don’t launch something too pretty.
It may lead you to thinking you have product-market fit but you may actually just have design-designers fit.
