to run a business?d

Surround yourself with people who don't give a shit about what you're

building but love who you are.

Never, ever, ever lean deep into business advice given to you by

someone who doesn’t have a fulfilling & healthy personal life.

d

The more honest you are about your failures & weaknesses, the closer people will lean in to hear

your story.d

(An NDA isn’t going to make them better.)

Hire smart people, get the fuck out of their way, and pay them

well to work hard.

interesting version of an idea, not by being the only one to try.

d

Be good to your body.

Don’t eat at your desk.

Get a lot of sleep.

They’ll know what to do.

If you want a mentor, find someone who is amazing and ask to buy them dinner. Do this for a few

months until they offer to buy the next time.d

Coffee is a waste of my time

all about you.d
