Life has one formula: Easy now, hard later. Hard now, easy later. Do hard things.

A high growth business is always broken. Your business should never not be broken. The only question is: does the leader know where the constraint is and how to fix it?

Being busy isn’t the goal. Being effective is. You don’t need a longer to-do list — you need a shorter one that actually grows the business. Scale doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing less, better.

Margins and multiples.

For me, legacy isn’t about being remembered. It’s about what lives on in others because of you.

Poverty is real. Set backs are real. Fatigue is real. But there is a power that is greater than all of that. It’s greater than all of your fears and superstitions combined… It’s the power to rise above your circumstances and build the life you dream of.

Scale doesn’t solve problems. It reveals all of the problems you’ve been avoiding.

When PayPal started, its first product was an infrared payment system for Palm Pilots. It was voted one of the worst business ideas of 1999 - and there were a lot of bad ideas in 1999. But the team was relentless. They pivoted, iterated, and kept going. PayPal would go on to

The most dangerous addiction in the world isn’t drugs or alcohol—it’s comfort. Comfort kills more dreams than failure ever will. It keeps people in jobs they hate. In relationships that drain them. In lives that make them miserable. Not because they’re happy—but because

School punishes the exact skills that make people successful. In school, questioning the system gets you in trouble. Taking risks is discouraged. Thinking differently gets marked as wrong. But in the real world… The most successful people question everything, take risks, and

If you work hard when no one's watching. If you block out the noise and don't get distracted by comparison. If you're consistent toward your goals. If you've been knocked down and keep getting back up. If you stay disciplined under pressure. Your time will come.

The world will always push you to be normal. To fit in. To conform. To settle. But being different—truly standing out—takes effort. It’s not easy. It’s not free. It requires continuous energy to maintain your edge. The price of distinctiveness is effort. The reward is

People can retire from Government at the speed at which the elevator shaft can move to the limestone mine. This is not a joke.

In a press conference today with @elonmusk & @POTUS, Elon says that we obviously need a lot of people in the government but not as many as we have right now. They’re offering good retirement packages so that the employees who want to, can elect to retire. They then find out

This is exciting.

"Work life balance" positions work as the enemy. For me, work and life are the same thing. It's all just living. I don't believe in work life balance, I believe in work life integration.

Success without fulfilment is failure in disguise.

Our biggest problem is that we believe we shouldn't have any.

If you're making over $200k a year, you shouldn’t be doing laundry, groceries, or cleaning—you should have someone part time helping you at home so you can focus on what matters. If you’re spending time on tasks that can be outsourced for $50 an hour, you're trading your most

It’s Quitter’s Day—the day most people quit their goals. Here’s how I don’t.
