Because so few people make an actual long term commitment to what they're building, the ones that do have a huge advantage.

It really is true that you become an average of the people you spend the most time with.

The best founders work on things that seem small but they move really quickly. They get things done really quickly.

The company just needs to see you as like this maniacal execution machine.

Why couldn't it have been done 2 years ago, and why will 2 years in the future be too late?

What being a founder means, is signing up for this years long grind on execution - and you can't outsource this.

Someday, you need to build a business that's difficult to replicate. This is an important part of a good idea.
