Most founders build products to save their clients time.
Then they spend 4 hours a day manually replying on the timeline.
Fix your own bottlenecks first.
People don't fear failure. They fear looking inexperienced again.
Because being a beginner means doubt. Slow progress.
Lost credibility. And to most founders, that's harder to accept than never trying at all.
Take it from someone who sends >1,500,000 cold emails per month, fully automated end-to-end:
He's 100% right.
In fact, we're launching something new soon, and instead of loading up a campaign the way we typically do, I spent last Saturday manually (imagine!) cold emailing around to get our first 5 customers.
All the tooling in the world doesn't matter if you don't understand the fundamentals.
The story behind the launch of WCW Thunder is a masterclass in CORPORATE SABOTAGE. Eric Bischoff reveals that his original vision for a legitimate brand split was actually a brilliant strategy to revitalize the product, but Turner executives had ZERO interest in the long term health of the wrestling business.
Instead of supporting the growth of the brand, corporate bean counters were slashing budgets while simultaneously demanding more content. Bischoff puts it bluntly: "My company was being gutted while I was being asked to produce a new primetime show with the same level of production and everything else as TNT."
They were crushing production and marketing budgets just to manage EBITDA numbers so executives could cash out on stock options. It was a total DISASTER.

Love this from @ycombinator on AI-native services.
But I'm surprised the bolder version isn't the headline yet: AI lets a small team incubate several startups in parallel, not just rebuild one.
We run our startup as a studio this way. You don't pick the winning idea up front, you ship a portfolio and double down where traction is easiest to find.
In an AI world the single idea matters less. Optionality is the moat.
this use just built one of the coolest startup i’ve seen so far
if you are a #indiedev that build AI apps, you don’t need anymore to write the logic for every plans damn
this is game changer

Just client work + building in public.
Build → ship → repeat. Keep going
