Scarcity vs. Abundance
“The tighter you squeeze, the less you have.” - Thomas Merton
Christian Rawles
How do you measure growth?
When I was starting out as a business owner, a successful entrepreneur who had just sold his business told me “You’re either growing or you’re dying”. It was horrible advice for me at the time.
Movement -> Momentum -> Motivation
Motivation is the result of action, not the cause.
Systems vs. Goals
Goal setting isn’t an effective long-term strategy. Instead, we should focus on systems that create continuous improvement.
Unsolicited yet well-intentioned advice
Every entrepreneur receives unsolicited well-intentioned advice. It comes with the territory.
Alpinists and entrepreneurs
I’ve been fortunate to get to know some alpine climbers who have turned into entrepreneurs and I find that they are uniquely qualified to become excellent entrepreneurs.
