If you pivot, do it fully and with conviction. The worst thing is to try to do a bit of the old and the new-it's hard to kill your babies.

... but the pendulum has swung way out of whack here. A bad idea is still bad, and the pivot happy world we're in today feels suboptimal.

In the beginning of a company, there is no management and this actually works really well.

You should think about for the next 10 years, you're going to be giving out 3-5% of the company every year.

You have to be intense. This only comes from the CEO, this only comes from the founders.

You should always know how you're doing against your metrics. You should always have a weekly review meeting every week.

Great execution towards a terrible idea will get you nowhere.
