Some days you have zero motivation. You show up anyway. That's the difference.

You will look back one day and realize this hard phase was actually the best part.

Some weeks the only win is that you didn't give up.

Success at scale demands support. You simply can’t carry it all by yourself.

If there’s no deadline, there’s no urgency. If there’s no urgency, there’s no execution.

The best marketing is still a product people actually talk about.

Normalize disappearing for an extended period of time to do a factory reset on your focus and creativity.

You're not stuck. You just don't want to do the hard part yet.

The idea is 1%. The execution is everything else.

Don't sleep like you're rich. Work like you're broke.

You are not behind. You are just on your own timeline.

You will become a millionaire. The day you bet on yourself harder than anyone else ever will.

Never quit as a founder. I’m begging you. It’s 0 for longer than you’ll ever expect. No momentum. Soul-crushing doubts. Nobody seems to care. Even when it looks like it’s working, it’s not. You keep trying new things. You don’t lose hope. Then it snaps to 100. You finally find the one thing that resonates. You wake up with more customers than you can handle. Everything is breaking. Momentum keeps building even when you’re not pushing. Something changed. You didn’t get lucky, you just didn’t leave.

You built something from nothing. Remember that on the hard days.

Haters are a fixed cost of life. If you do anything, people will criticize you. If you do nothing, people will criticize you. So you might as well do something you love enough to be hated for.

No one cares what you think until they know what you believe. Intellect wins battles. Conviction wins wars.

Some days you feel like quitting. Most days you forget why you even thought that.

If it was easy, everyone would be rich. It’s not. That’s the point.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
