If you're ambitious and paying attention, you might not need to work at a big company or have a boss; you can control your own destiny during these unique moments of opportunity.

I realized that there are three types of people: those who can only thrive in entrepreneurial roles, those who can succeed in either entrepreneurial or corporate environments, and those who operate best within large companies.

Working at a big company often makes you a small part of a large machine, which limits your learning and slows your pace of growth compared to creating your own startup where you are responsible for everything.

Constant hard work is essential for success; the most capable individuals work diligently and are always engaged with their problems.

The freedom to fail repeatedly is more fulfilling than living on autopilot.

The willingness to fail is crucial for success; if you're not taking risks, you're likely to follow conventional paths and miss out on true innovation.

The largest group consists of people who operate best within a large company, seeking a system to optimize and follow existing rules rather than creating their own.

High agency PMs take ownership, creatively execute through challenges, and demonstrate resilience, which differentiates them in their impact.

It's important for founders to give themselves permission to not excel at everything and to focus on what truly drives their business forward.
