I came across this wonderful piece from @marcrandolph, Co-Founder of @netflix, the other day.

Highly recommend reading it and internalizing it.

5 key lessons I pulled away from Marc’s reflection:

1. Everyone should have a north star - success is what you make of it; money, influence, impact, balance, intellectual satisfaction. There’s no right or wrong; it’s different for each person. The worst thing you can do is build a life around somebody else’s definition of success

2. Values are easy to have, hard to uphold - Your values shine through in difficult times - Extending Marc’s example, it’s not difficult to wrap up at 5 pm on a quiet Tuesday. In a crisis situation, it is difficult, but not impossible. If it’s truly a value, it will be upheld in rain or shine.

3. Compounding is magical - It is so difficult to measure the compounding quality of non-quantitative actions. In business, we see the impact our decisions have daily; these are easily measurable and can be measured over hyper short duration timeframes. It’s why we gravitate towards them - instant gratification.

What we don’t see however is the impact of daily decisions that aren’t easily measurable, e.g. an individual conversation with a colleague, a sit down dinner with a family member, daily inward reflection. In my experience, these decisions don’t breed instant gratification, but they are so important - they’re the source of enduring and sustainable long term gratification.

4. Balance comes from imbalance - I’ve found that the best way to achieve enduring happiness is to go “all in”on whatever you’re doing. If you’re at work - go all in; focus, be the best teammate and leader you can be. If you’re at home - do the same; be the best spouse, partner, parent, sibling, you can be.

5. Constraints force impact - This has been a learning for me as I’ve scaled myself as a Leader. The biggest challenge when you’re operating a high growth business is focus; my friend has a simple framework he uses that I love (and stole!). Every company earns the *right* to do a handful of things really well. No more, no less. Inserting constraints forces you to focus, prioritize and spend time on areas that are highest impact and highest leverage.

As head of marketing at Gusto I shifted us from "growth at all costs" to profitable growth.

ARR grew 100x in 4 yrs while CAC <12 mos.

Now every company is asked to do the same.

I shared how we did it in a recent talk to @ycombinator & @sequoia founders.

Here's the summary:
