3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“I’d estimate at least half of my frustrations with others are actually frustrations with myself for failing to set clear boundaries and stand by them.”
II.
“Read books that are relevant to what you want to achieve and reading will never seem boring.”
III.
“The fastest way to improve is to learn from others.
- Read good books
- Talk to people who have done it
- Soak up the lessons of the past
Learn from the experiments history has already run and you can start the race halfway finished.”
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

II.
Entrepreneur and investor Sam Altman on the importance of quality:
“All companies that grow really big do so in only one way: people recommend the product or service to other people. What this means is that if you want to be a great company some day, you have to eventually build something so good that people will recommend it to their friends—in fact, so good that they want to be the first one to recommend it to their friends for the implied good taste. No growth hack, brilliant marketing idea, or sales team can save you long term if you don’t have a sufficiently good product.”
