Notes
Not everything deserves a full blog post. This is where I keep the lines from books and podcasts that were worth writing down.
“If nobody has ever pushed back on your price, you're leaving money on the table. The goal isn't to be cheap enough that nobody objects, it's to be clear enough about the value that objections are rare.”
Indie Hackers — episode on service pricing
“You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems. Obvious once you've heard it, easy to forget the other 360 days of the year.”

Cal Newport — Deep Questions podcast
“Growth for its own sake is usually a bet against the thing that made the business work in the first place. The better question is almost always 'better,' not 'bigger.'”
Company of One — Paul Jarvis
