A Day At Apple
No Saviors
“Treating it like a day at apple”.
Founder on ex-cofounder
Startups are not big companies. They can strive to be big companies one day. They can build things that scale and design systems anyone can do. But founders need to know the path is not going to be laid out clearly. A culture of experimentation and willingness to navigate uncertainty is tantamount to success. Identifying valuable problems and executing swiftly and precisely is the only path with any chance of success.
In the words of Nathaniel Branden:
No one is coming to save you; no one is coming to make life right for you; no one is coming to solve your problems
Humbling, but strangely relieving.
