Building

[Bruno Soares @brunosoareshd]

- Ignore the safe, average bets
- Chase the rare massive winner
- Accept most attempts will fail

One outlier is worth all of them

The next couple of years are among the most important in history.

The economy is transforming an order of magnitude faster than ever before.

If you have the opportunity to work obsessively on an important mission and choose not to, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

[Bruno Soares @brunosoareshd]

The most successful people I’ve met in my life are highly competitive and really like comparing themselves to their peers

[Bruno Soares @brunosoareshd]

Pessoas bem sucedidas acham valores em lugares inesperados e o fazem pensando nos negócios com base em noções primitivas em vez de fórmulas

[Bruno Soares @brunosoareshd]

é melhor estar certo do que ser consistente

[Brendan (can/do) @BrendanFoody]

I see so many people founding because they want to be founders.

Almost all lack a contrarian thesis for why the world should be different.

There are about a dozen companies that matter each decade and meaningfully shape how the world works.

You should generally optimize for contributing meaningfully to one of those.

Probability of success = founder quality × idea quality × rate of learning × access × luck

Organizações grandes não conseguem executar bem em prioridades ilimitadas simultaneamente, independente do capital que possuem

[Bruno Soares @brunosoareshd]

Dream big
Move fast
And stop giving a fuck about external approval

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

The best founders can bend reality to their will.

They see something that will inevitably be true - like robots delivering high-quality meals at the cost of groceries - and pull forward the timeline.

What would've happened in 20 years now becomes 5.

Os fatos são objetivos.
As verdades são pessoais. Elas dependem de persepctiva, cultura, valores, crenças e contexto.

[Ryan Hiepler @ryjlocal]

Good example of strategy in life. 90% positioning, 10% explosive execution when the timing is right. Activity without achievement is a false god of the modern world.

"You need to make yourself a big target for luck, and the way to do that is to be curious. Try lots of things, meet lots of people, read lots of books, ask lots of questions."

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.

Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.

Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"

AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

There’s a lot of alpha in putting your ego aside by being willing to be cringe, willing to fail in public, willing to ask for what you want and face rejection, etc.

O desconforto é o preço que se paga por uma vida realizada

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.

Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.

Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.

Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

Instead of watching Netflix tonight, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture.

You’ll learn more about how ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs are built than most people at top AI companies learn in years.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Focus your attention on things that compound.

At the highest levels...discipline is the exception, not the rule.
