Marc Andreessen on product-market fit.
“You don’t have a business until you have a product that a lot of people want.”
“You can tell because the market’s pulling the product.”
“Until you have that, time spent building the business around the product is pointless.”
“Best case it’s gonna be a zombie.”
“When you have product-market fit, then you build a company around it.”

I have invested $200M into the UK in the last five years.
If @RachelReevesMP implements “Exit Tax” all that funding will go overnight.
That is countless jobs, companies and people who will lose out.
Rachel, you have managed to steal our hopes, our dreams even our growth, don’t take our freedom also.
@Dom_Hallas 🙏 for his work here 👇

I’ve said this for decades, salary doesn’t make you rich, ownership does.
You can work 18 hours a day for someone else or for yourself. One builds equity, freedom, and long-term wealth. That’s what built America. That’s what I see every day on Shark Tank.

WARREN BUFFETT ON THE U.S. BUDGET DEFICIT
"We still have very substantial inflation in the United States, but it's never been runaway…yet. And that's not something we want to try and experiment with, because it feeds on itself.
I wouldn't want the job of trying to correct what's going on in revenue & expenditures of the United States — with roughly a 7% gap, when probably a 3% gap is sustainable. And the further away you get from that, the more you get to where the uncontrollable begins…
It's a job I don't want, but it's a job I think should be done — and Congress does not seem good at doing it."

Here's the cold hard truth: 8 out of 10 entrepreneurs fail. Those who succeed have to launch several companies before one survives. It takes a decade or even 15 years to get an exit.

The answer doesn't have to be in your head; you can look outside yourself. If you're truly looking at things objectively, you must recognize that the probability of you always having the best answer is small and that, even if you have it, you can't be confident that you do before others test you. So it is invaluable to know what you don't know. Ask yourself: Am I seeing this just through my own eyes? If so, then you should know that you're terribly restricted. #principleoftheday

A titan of business and keen observer of the world around him, Charlie Munger helped build an American institution, and through his wisdom and insights, inspired a generation of leaders. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Charlie.

This book is an excellent explanation of why capitalism is not just successful, but morally right, especially chapter 4 itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/…

I have learned an enormous amount from Charlie Munger. These are some great excerpts of his wisdom.

Making your first Million dollars - I always say it’s not about the greed of money. It’s the pursuit of freedom. That’s why you do it!
