Speed is a habit, not a sprint

I communicate to my leaders that my expectation is they bring in the clock speed one click faster. If you think something needs to be done this year, it needs to be done this half.

We don't work in years, quarters, weeks, we work in days. Each day matters and so never put out something tomorrow that you know can get done today.

If you want to improve the speed of a company, then make faster decisions. And fast decisions come from a bias of action.

Being right is good, but being quick is necessary. Because if there are 10 startups working on an idea, some of them will gamble and make an early bet and be right.

Office Hours are regular startup progress meetings with investors/advisors. "They" refers to the startup teams being evaluated.

One good indicator is if each new Office Hour there is really exciting new stuff, right? We're not talking about the same thing we talked about two weeks ago or four weeks ago. They've already done that stuff.

Everyone says, 'Oh yeah, work hard and do more hours when you're young, whatever.' I'm like, 'What if you just did more per minute?'

People talk about this as if there were a trade-off because when they think about speed, the thing they over-index on is rushing or being sloppy. What they should be indexing on is being really competent.
