Smash the Box

Most ideas and life concepts are confined within a set of rules and borders, similar to the sides of a box. Great entrepreneurs destroy the box.

Do you know about loss aversion? Scientists discovered that humans will go to greater lengths to avoid losses than to pursue gains because losses hurt more than winning feels good. Imagine getting comfortable with losing - comfortable with failure in general. That’s power.

The @NFLDraft is a stew of ego, self-interest, and cognitive bias. Maybe that's why so many teams ignore data showing how to improve their chances of success. It's a lesson for other businesses too. USE THE DATA. Build a dashboard. Know your numbers. Link to full article in bio.

Unicorns get a ton of press, but some with peak valuations just a few years ago have already deflated significantly. I always expect the ones that have been strategic in how they’ve paced their growth will come out stronger and ahead in the end.

What’s the worst advice you’ve gotten as an entrepreneur? One I hear all the time is recommending growth at all costs. If you raise tons of cash at a high price, you can price yourself out of some great acquisitions. And if you haven’t scaled sustainably, when there’s a drop-off (and there always is) you can be left without an exit plan. Everything in its time.
