Be your self, not someone you were assigned to be!
Bezos won on time horizon, not AWS or 1-Click.
If your bets have to work in 3 years, you compete with everyone. Every smart, funded team is chasing the same 3-year problems. Short horizon, crowded field.
Stretch to 7 and the field collapses. Investors want returns, employees want vesting, founders want proof. Almost nobody can sit in a bet that doesn't pay for most of a decade. The patience is the moat, and it costs you, that's why it works.
But you can't fake a 7-year horizon on a problem you don't actually care about. Pick the users and the problem Moloch assigned you, the safe ones, the fundable ones, and you'll bail the first hard year. Pick the ones that are actually yours and you'll still be there when everyone else has quit.
So the real prerequisite isn't discipline. It's knowing yourself well enough to choose a problem and a set of people you care about that you'll serve them for decades.
Give your AI agent a phone and a voice.
2 weeks ago, I was in Japan and I was struggling to get into restaurants because so many of them required a phone reservation.
Frustrated, i went back to my hotel and jammed this out.
It’s built with MCP so it works anywhere.
If you want openclaw or chatgpt to help you make phone calls (restaurant bookings, call a bunch of places to check things for you, etc)
