The best founders aren’t chasing opportunities. They’re haunted by a problem they can’t stop thinking about. Opportunistic founders jump on trends. Obsessive founders build companies that last. Every legendary company started with an obsession. Trends fade. Obsession compounds

The bigger your company gets, the more you risk becoming the bottleneck.
That’s not growth. It’s a trap.

Has this happened to you yet?

[Alan | The Founders Chat @alan_tfc]

Just start! You know what you have to do to start chasing your dreams, stop putting excuses and start, today.

Hot take: Replacing one employee costs up to 150% of their salary. Hiring fast instead of right will cost you twice.

@TheGeorgePu Yeh, going the VC way is dangerous even when the business is a success

Canva was rejected by over 100 investors before their first major funding. Today, it’s worth more than $30 billion.

You’re not behind. You’re early.

By 6pm, even picking dinner feels impossible. That’s not laziness. That’s decision fatigue.

If jobs disappear and everybody is rich.

What would you do?
