and realized most of it wasn’t work
just other people’s priorities
started “Deep Work” this week
and the contrast is brutal
half of what fills your day
never moves your goals forward
the real discipline isn’t focus
it’s refusing the drift

most “product issues” are just prioritization issues
keep dithering and you burn runway without advancing revenue
the bottleneck isn’t your roadmap
it’s your refusal to choose one buyer
pick the buyer who already replies
ship the one outcome they’ll pay for

friday night truth
if you’re still thinking about the problem
it’s because you didn’t finish the decision
most weeks don’t end in exhaustion
they end in avoidance
the question isn’t what you’ll work on monday
it’s what you should have faced on thursday
sit with that
then log off

the hospital wasn’t the hard part
the hard part was seeing how much of my life i’d been sprinting past
forced stillness tells the truth
clarity follows whether you want it or not

rock bottom has one upside:
it strips out everything that doesn’t move you forward.
when the noise fell away, 3 things stayed true:
• revenue
• pipeline
• delivery
that’s the whole engine.
GTR isn’t a framework.
it’s what remains when life deletes everything else.

strategizing = avoidance
momentum returns the second you stop dodging the hard thing.
most “GTM work” is just highly organized procrastination.
GTR cuts all that out.
if it doesn’t move money or create signal,
it’s noise.
clean the sequence.
do the uncomfortable step first.
watch the fog lift.

the quiet kind
caught myself praying for a hail mary
then doing the harder thing
asking a few people i trust to smile on me
turns out vulnerability isn’t weakness
it’s how momentum restarts
be honest

gtm is a tax on founders who hate money

go-to-revenue means one thing
a direct line to cash
everything else is noise
if it doesn’t create revenue now, it waits
if it needs hype before cash, it’s wrong
most teams overbuild
i underbuild until money shows up

the smartest ideas usually start with “this might sound crazy.”

because the person saying it is smarter than their confidence
heard it all week
every “crazy idea” was sharp
the preface was the only nonsense
