Most Important Lifestyle Habits Of Successful Founders

Plan For The Punches

Aduiting Harder

Audit How You Live

Good & Bad Habits

Information Diet

Information we consume affects us and it makes me think about again myself all of us

your social media habits make you feel bad or compare yourselves to people or say yoy follow a lot of like investors and everything they’re talking

every day you’re bombarding your brain with stuff about investor shit

why is that good why how is that helping you actually run your startup

I think people are surprised that like successful founders like explicitly block social media they do crazy things like grayscale their phone so it looks less interesting they turn off notifications they’re aggressive users of screentime

Salary Bumps

snake oil(deceptive marketing or scam)

penny-wise pound foolish: careful about small amounts of money but not about large amounts → used especially to describe something that is done to save a small amount of money now but that will cost a large amount of money in the future

just a small incremental five or ten percent cal salary bump can make a huge lifestyle difference

sometimes people are sacrificing pennywise pound foolish

기회비용을 잘 고려해서 성공을 목표로 정하고 달리는 능력이 중요하다. 회사마다 다 달라 공식이 없어 따라서 회사의 대표는 철학이 있어야 한다. 없으면 X될 수도 있다.

there is no right answer on size fits all for everyone or here’s the formula

anyone that tells you their simple answers is probably trying to sell you something. It’s probably snake oil.

So you want to pay yourself enough that you don’t get into dept you want to pay yourself enough so that you’re properly motivated you also want to keep enough you want to keep the money in the company

like these are all variables that you have to turn and if you’re going to be a successful founder you have to have good judgment and you have to have opinions

When founders have no opinion about this stuff → it’s not a great sign so it’s kind of like you need a philosophy of what you’re solving for around compenstation you want to set everyone up for success a line incentives well

Michael Seibel’s philosophy: salary is for living and equity is for upside.

Hard Conversations

everyone has to go through this and it’s gonna suck

if you have some of those in the bag when you get punched in the face you all know a little bit more how to interact with each other

anxious personality vs avoid into personally type

if you can figure out that dance with your co-founder

it’s so much more helpful when you’re dealing with these external challenges

the startup’s going to present many opportunities for frustraion with co-founder

→ a lot of people want to ask us advice about co-founder stuff but that what they want is us to agree that they were right and their co-founder is wrong 😂

actual thing that you need advice on a thing to work on is meta conversation which is like how do you deal with conflict so the people feel good when if’s over

early stage founders argue about the dumbest things that there’s almost infinite opportunities to practice this dealing with frustration of your co-founder

Expectation Setting

expectation setting is so much of life

setting expectation for yourself and for people you work with about what to expect

if you are good at that people can deal with all sorts of stuff and when you get into the biggest trouble both with yourself managing your own brain as well as working with other people is when you say a bunch of stuff. that is that turns out to be really not true

so expectation setting is key for prevention

based on real stories of companies → just know how long this takes

if your company set a stupid expectation then they feel like something’s wrong and you’re just like holy crap you just invented a crisis

startups have enough crises without that

Fight or Flight

adrenaline makes you crazy on the situation

빡쳐서 메일이나 상황을 이성적으로 못 다루겠으면 쳐자거나 좀 화를 식혀라

after sleeping you have whole new amount of clarity on the situation and you can find your best moments in my worst moments

there’s always a third option which is don’t act

the best founders no action becomes one of their like key plays → use that play way more than you think

가만히 있는 것도 큰 옵션이다.

Good R&R

R&R(Role and Responsibilities)

so when things go bad there’s a current inside of a set of people you should probably be hanging out with and a certain set of people you probably shouldn’t be hanging out with

YC 파운더의 경우 잘나가는 사람들이 많잖아 그래서 힘들 때

we see other sorts of folks that are like oh you should do tons of drugs of let’s go not sleep for a really long amount of time or hang out with celebrities

there’s all these differnt crowds you can get into

일이 힘들고 멘탈 터졌어? → 케어가 필요한 경우 어떤 식으로 휴식을 취하고 할 것인지에 대해서

사람에 따라 연예인들이랑 놀거나, 마약을 하거나, 술을 마시거나 등의 방법이 있고 하이킹 하거나 운동을 하거나 등이 있다.

best people goes wrong and they go take a hike or something and worst people think goes wrong and they drink and do drugs

you have to choose the right teraphy
