Notes

“I wanted to go on offense. I wanted to have the time to focus, to learn the things I wanted to learn, to build what I wanted to build, and to really invest in relationships that I wanted to grow, rather than just doing a day of coffee after coffee after coffee.”

Chris Sacca

“…clarity of writing indicates clarity of thinking…I write in order to think.”

“Whenever possible, I want to pour gasoline on the fire, not start the fire.”

“…don’t try to slip by something that you know is below the standard.”

Chris Young

“…at the seed of an idea, the bet is largely based on the quality of the team and the emotional connection you feel with the product.”

Kevin Rose

“‘killing your darlings’—… Sometimes you need to stop doing things you love in order to nurture the one thing that matters most.”

Scott Belsky

“You need to build your own house, your own shelter.”

Kevin Kelly

“General fame is overrated. You want to be famous to 2,000 to 3,000 people you handpick.”

“Warren Buffett spends a year deciding and a day acting. That act lasts decades.”

Naval Ravikant

“If I could only work 2 hours per week on my business, what would I do?…What would this look like if it were easy? If I feel stressed, stretched thin, or overwhelmed, it’s usually because I’m overcomplicating something or failing to take the simple/easy path because I feel I should be trying “harder”

“If you’ve got enough money to solve the problem, you don’t have the problem.”

Dan Sullivan

“‘Rodriguez list’ has come to mean writing down all of your assets and building a film around the list.”
