The gap between small teams and big companies?
It's basically gone.
You've never had a better shot than right now.
Imagine being lucky enough to be alive right this minute.

Steve Jobs knew the smartphone already existed.
He built the iPhone anyway.
Look:
Hulu is Netflix. 📺
Uber is Lyft. 🚘
Airbnb is VRBO. 🏘️
DoorDash is Uber Eats. 🥘
Your big win probably isn't some new idea.
It's selling what people already buy + some sauce.
Go!

Cold-blooded but...
Money is in a committed relationship with action. 🚀
No Money sleeps on overthinking's couch!
The stuff on the right is how Overthinking gets to pretend to be Action.
It's a hypnotic trap! 💯

Came across this and couldn't agree more.
Folks treat entrepreneurship like school:
study → prepare → research → organize → THEN act.
But fastest path to a win is the opposite:
act → fail → adjust → learn → repeat.
Wish we had startup shot charts!

Life is basically trying to solve for: How good can this get?
Being happy
Helping other people 🤝
Making l̶i̶f̶e̶ community-changing money
Nieces/nephews who turn out to be lovely people
Not sure what the real limits are, but we should test them! 👏Rhi

Money doesn't buy happiness. Agreed! 💯
But when I had to send my mom to Cuba for eye surgery that wasn't available in 🇧🇧, I learned two things:
1. They don't accept payment in good vibes.
2. My entire family was happy at the outcome.
So maybe Cuba brings happiness? 🤔

"I wouldn't trade entrepreneurship for anything.
Good days or bad days, and there's a lot of both... 🌧️☀️
Every win is YOURS. 🏆
Every failure teaches you things a regular job could never.
Being your own boss isn't freedom from hard work. It's freedom to choose your hard."

People overthink validation.
Do this:
1. Do people sell the thing already?
2. Are they making money?
Go forth and be great!

I grew up watching my parents struggle. 😟
Every bill was a negotiation.
Every expense was stress. 💸
10 years ago, I decided that wouldn't be my story.
I didn't even know what SaaS meant.
I showed up, figured shit out
stayed late. There's no magic.
Keep going 🚀

"DON'T get me wrong - multiple income streams are great. 💰
But there's a point where you're not building wealth, you're just building complexity. 🤯
Sometimes the move is picking 3 solid streams and actually scaling them instead of adding a 13th one that makes $47 a month. "

Product market fit. Validation. Research...Meh.
Here's what I do instead.
1. I sell what people already buy.
2. Sell it how they already buy it.
3. Make the thing look nice so they buy it.
That's about it.
Am I oversimplifying? Maybe. But this works.
