Mindset for Success
When in Doubt, Ship. There’s a tug of war between polishing and shipping. Do you keep improving or finally go public? When in doubt: ship.
Less is More. A short email. A 10 second video pitch. A 5 word follow up. Being brief can massively reduce friction on both sides. Less is more.
