When you’re building a startup please:

- laugh as often as possible
- don’t take yourself so seriously
- give yourself a break
- trust in your team
- work in zone of genius
- exercise, sleep good, eat healthy
- have fun and enjoy the ride

Remember it’s a marathon not a sprint.…

Every month you're able to keep your startup alive the odds of success increase. Please just stay in the game and keep going.

Listen up, Canadian founders 🇨🇦

Are you ready to sell?
Act now to pay less tax on your acquisition.

A true entrepreneur is a doer. Not a dreamer.

And by doing, you get to see results:

Your job as CEO is to hire people way smarter than you at your startup then give them clear direction, autonomy, goals, appreciation, and dark mode.

This is what building a startup feels like.

Startups sound awesome but the reality is:

- you'll be working far more for far less
- you’ll be working for a decade
- you’ll be working harder than ever before
- you’ll be working with tons of uncertainty
- you’ll be working with lots of doubt
- you’ll be working with less…

'Starting a company is like jumping off a cliff and assembling the plane on the way down. - Reid Hoffman

Building a startup is hard.

Takes more time than most expect.

Takes more learning than most expect.

Takes more failing than most expect.

Takes more grit than most expect.

Takes more optimism than most expect.

Just keep building and please keep going.
