get it done

I used to think the hard part was the idea. It wasn't. The hard part was sending the email I didn't want to send, getting on a flight before I felt ready, and showing a demo that still broke. Starting a company from school, then from a couch in San Francisco, taught me that nothing moves until you do the unglamorous thing in front of you.

The days that counted were ordinary. Wake up, build, get told no, build again. Customers and investors do not care that you are tired or that the last thing failed. You either ship it or you don't. That is the whole job.
