@thatguybg Hah, this is great

@kubla @jonnym1ller Super interesting!

[Michael J.J. Tiffany @kubla]

@jonnym1ller If you could map them, you would be able to measure what breathwork, somatic therapy, and nervous system work actually change.

This isn’t a metaphor.

It’s the future of quantifying resilience.

And I can’t stop thinking about it.

@imPatrickT @Canoopsy But why is there a fork being used at a Chinese restaurant?!

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

In business, it pays to think like a marathoner.

Forget outperforming.

Try outlasting.

Having a decades-long mission helps you simply outlast 99% of people.

But translating a mission into tangible steps isn't easy.

I've spent years stumbling around on the internet to find my mission and turn it into achievable steps.

Here's what I've come up with:

1. Goals (Decades)

Start with your big mission.

But your mission isn't a "me" outcome — it’s a customer-focused outcome.

2. Strategy (Yearly)

BHAGs (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals) guide my yearly strategy, and can be for you as well.

3. Tactics (Quarterly)

Identifying the top 20% of actions that yield 80% of the results is crucial.

4. Effort (Daily)

Your daily work molds your vision into reality over the course of many years.

It’s how you “eat the elephant one bite at a time”.

Tomorrow, I’m sharing my entire business planning process in my newsletter.

How I transform my big mission into daily action steps that move the needle.

@Austen Looking at any single data point like this is problematic though. Search vs download vs daily users vs posts etc would be a much better comparison. Of course any new tech launch on this scale will start with a bang then decrease...

[Nick Kengmana @NickKengmana]

@steviemctweets Similar to how every startup is taught to have a financial projection of $100m ARR 5 years from that investment round (regardless of what round it is 😅)!

[Wiz 👨‍🚀 @WizLikeWizard]

KP’s first fund was $8.4M
Sequoia’s was $8M

Big things start small.

@alexiskold When do you think we'll have a ChatGPT like breakthrough in the longevity space?

[Alex Iskold | 2048.vc @alexiskold]

Many founders unfortunately don’t understand the downstream impact of SAFE or convertible note that’s doesn’t convert and therefore doesn’t dilute.

Put it simply - it is going to cost you more equity down the line!

Let’s unpack this to understand what’s going on

[🇦🇺 Alex is Building @AlexIsBuilding]

You saw GPT-4 turn a drawing into a website, write code for Pong in 60 seconds & get 90% on a Law exam.

But it was only just getting started.

We're now 24 hours beyond its release, and the usecases are heating up.

Here's the latest news that you may have missed:

@irrvrntVC @alexiskold < Paying Clients who are raving fans

[Jackson Greathouse Fall @jacksonfall]

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.

I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?

The founder's journey can often be lonely and terrifying. It was beautiful to see how so much of the startup community come together to share resources, knowledge, and emotional support over the last week.
