I used to think… and now I think 🤔
I used to think that winning awards and getting press coverage meant you were a successful entrepreneur. Now I think that revenue and margin is what points toward success.
I used to think that what mattered was just getting things done, by any means necessary. Now I think people come first, and results follow.
I used to think that without investment you couldn’t do anything. Now I think everything can be reduced to a bootstrappable version.
I used to think I could wake up at 10AM, wrap up at 4PM and everything would still be fine. Now I know that if you don’t give it everything, there’s no point doing it at all.
Thanks Pedro Mejia for the inspiration. What did you used to think that you no longer do?
