- Go hard at work, then go home: Blend passion with work but set boundaries to avoid burnout.
- Everything can be done faster: Push the pace aggressively while maintaining team morale and focus.
- Scale or die trying: Prioritize hiring great people and act fast on performance feedback to scale effectively.
- Don't swoop and poop: Avoid making uninformed decisions; listen to your team and build alignment.
- It's okay to change your mind: Be open to revising processes when new information or better methods emerge.
