    [MVP] The Secret to Closing Fortune 100s

    Back by popular demand, it'sLife or Death: The Secret to Closing Fortune 100s Your closing process in a nutshell: Think of yourself like an ER doctor where the patient presents He’s got cardiac arrest, a sprained ankle, a broken toe, a gash in his right arm, and bleeding from his forehead. Triage. Focus on the High-Variance shit first, then everything else. You know it’s life or death - the patient’s life or death is in your hands. But here’s the Twist. The patient is rolled in and accompanied by his Mother in Law, who has all sorts of questions and shall we call them OBJECTIONS. She’s heard all sorts of things about the potential side effects of your resuscitation techniques. She heard they may cause migraines or autism. And here’s the knife turn. Turns out it’s a Munchausen by proxy patient. Meaning: the Mother in Law has been poisoning the patient for weeks now, which led to his sudden heart failure. Life or Death is extremely clarifying. The fact that an investor or customer booked a call on your calendar Is akin to Intake at the ER Once the patient is wheeled in Your hippocratic oath as attending physician kicks into play. Your job is not to judge them as incapable of paying or affording to save their (or their business’) life. Your job is not to indulge them in their fear based excuses (inconsequential side effects of life saving intervention). Your job is simple: SAVE THEIR LIFE. (Their business’ life.)

    VCs are Bankers

    Goldman Sachs got branded a "vampire squid" in 2009 — an image that stuck because Goldman is transparent about what it is: a bank that trades against clients, prices deals to its own advantage, with conflicts of interest. Everyone assumes Goldman is optimizing for Goldman. That assumption is priced into every interaction with them. VCs runs the same playbook - portfolio-construction, LPs as the real client, founders as one bet among thirty, diligence that's sometimes decorative - but wrapped it in founder-friendly language: "we're operators, not suits," "we're partners," "we're mission-driven," Patagonia vests instead of pinstripes. The product is the same risk-capital-for-equity transaction JP Morgan ran. The packaging is completely different. The asymmetry is almost entirely a marketing achievement, not a structural one. Understand whose financial product your buying and why.

    The Upper Limit Problem

    The Upper Limit Problem (ULP) - the evolutionary hard-wired default mode of the brain which says we can only have a limited amount of success. Have you hit an upper limit? E.g,: Getting sick before an important pitch. Starting a fight with your spouse after raising a round. Yelling at your kids after closing a customer. Signing a terrible term sheet and giving power away to a board member or misaligned investor. The problem: We have a limited tolerance for feeling good. When we hit our Upper Limit, we manufacture thoughts that make us feel bad. We have a limited tolerance for life going well. When we hit our Upper Limit, we do something that stops our positive forward trajectory. Our species has grown accustomed to pain and adversity through millennia of struggle. We know how to feel bad.

    Autotellic: The Work is the Glory

    Autotelic: The Work Is the Glory Autotelic (adj.) - having its purpose in itself; done for its own sake; done simply for the joy of it. Is that how you'd describe a Tuesday in your business? If you only enjoy business when it’s up and to the right, you’re doing it wrong. If your work isn't autotelic, someone else's is. Someone, somewhere is doing the unsexy work and actually loving it. Not enduring it. Not "grinding through" it. Loving it, because they've made The Work itself The Glory. That founder will outlast everyone, compound, and win big long term.
