- to get what you have never got, be prepared to do what you have never done

- do not allow your inbox to manage your time

- Manage, or be managed

- people overpay to have you keep doing what you were already doing before.

- win:wins

- most people do not experience pmf that then warps their thinking into plateaus of mediocrity

- it is mighty difficult to create wealth being an employee. Most mansions, large homes in any neighbourhood belong to business(wo)men

- OC: what looks good from far, maybe far from good

- do not despise boredom. It is the spark that guides souls to their next passion or idea or habit

It's not just business; plenty of small ones struggle. It's ownership. Own that mansion, and it's rise in value will far outstrip your salary. Own other people's work, by owning a company, and even if doesn't make much profit it's probably worth much more than a salary.
