@robertgaal @pjrvs @joshu You're right, this screenshot is missing a bit of context.

The book isn't talking about innovation (which is a worthy goal).

It's aimed at folks who want to start a different type of (lifestyle) business.

For them, innovation and user growth isn't the objective. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@pt @naval Sorry, what do you mean "for 99% of people."

Are you talking about tech jobs specifically?

It shows that in the long run:

A bootstrapper who's focused on profits, and growing slowly, can beat a startup that's venture-backed and focused on hyper-growth. ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ“–ย Day 2 of reading @pjrvs' "Company of One."

He quotes @DeanAtAdaptiv who's found that "the level of resilience a person exhibits determines their success in business, far more than their level of education."

Resilient people:
1. Accept reality
2. Have purpose
3. Are adaptive

Got my copy of @pjrvs' new book last night, and I'm reading it this morning.

"Technically, everyone should be a company of one. Even at a large corporation, no one else cares about you keeping your job as much as you do."

Really great stuff. ๐Ÿ‘

@jasonfried I dig this idea.

It's already working this way with podcasts that give supporters an ad-free podcast feed.

Supporters get the content, and the podcaster often gets paid better than they would with ads. ๐Ÿ‘

@adamwathan @tailwindcss I didn't know this!

I wish Apple's Spotlight Search had a feature that allowed you to tap into specific help docs (so you can search them without going to the website).

Does Alfred do this?
