Enjoy the journey otherwise what’s the point?

The journey is the destination.

God gives you what you need, not what you want.

Sometimes they are the same thing, sometimes they aren’t.

Either way, trust God.

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

Your job as a startup founder is to figure how to sell your product because hiring someone to figure it out rarely works.

Motivation & work ethic has done a 10x after first big exit last year. Not about money anymore, all about the game.

Complacency seems easy to avoid when money isn’t the goal but merely a point system of how well the game is played. Back to work.

Our current circumstance, whether good or bad, are results from the decisions we made 5+ yrs ago

Once we comprehend this cause & effect dynamic & take action, our lives will improve

There’s no such thing as an insignificant decision, past affects present

The Butterfly effect.

[Chef @chefgoyardi]

There’s a beauty in keeping things private.

In 2000, at the depth of the dot com crash, Reed Hastings and I tried to sell Netflix to Blockbuster for $50 million dollars. They laughed us out of the room.

Today, the company they could have bought for $50 million has a market cap north of $150 billion. And the company that once had 9,000 stores, is down to a single one.

But what lesson to take from this?

That it’s possible for a handful of people, with no prior experience in the video business, to take down a 6 billion dollar category leading company? Sure.

But I think the more important lesson - a lesson that Blockbuster learned too late - is simply this:

If you are unwilling to disrupt yourself, there will always be someone willing to disrupt your business for you.
