Hi Sam! That’s the one thing being on Substack has taught me: Give your ideas more time to grow. A great lesson I needed at just the right time!

Thank you for sharing this Mack. I can totally relate. The amount of things I’ve stopped before giving the seed a chance to sprout! Ooof. 😅

The runway analogy is so relatable. In the beginning, I killed so many good ideas because I expected them to pay off in month 2. Now I try to give things at least 6-12 months before I decide they're not working. Patience is probably the hardest business skill to learn.

PS I can't wait for Neela's post. I hear she talks about a car. What's up with that?

Thanks bro

You totes buried that lead, Neela should have been right up there at the top ;) also this is by far my favorite yet. I’m digging this “everybody be honest” trend on substack, for reals

Happy Tuesday my friend, let’s go make some more mistakes, or maybe cookies. Also I am still trying to write a sonnet about a hot dog, so you know, just a regular human week
