I like the lesson learned that Shaun Quincey mentions: “Whether you are embarking on rowing the Tasman or whether you’re building a startup, it’s gonna come down to your repeat scalable systems and processes. Your ability to identify the patterns of success that enable progress. Then, continuing to repeat those time and time again.“ “That will make sure that when the going is good, and the wind’s behind you, you’re crushing it; you’re smashing ahead in the right direction. And also when it’s not, well, at least you’re holding your ground.” Scalable processes and systems may be the the boring stuff, but it’s the stuff you need to get right, even if you are a startup.
