Co-Founder + CEO of StretchDollar

The StretchDollar team had two birthdays this week (hbd Kaiza Molina and Lauren O’Leary!!!) and we're coming up on our own as a company. Here's a few lessons I've learned from the fastest year of my life - my first as a founder: 1. "Repetition has never spoiled a prayer." Being a broken record is a good thing when it comes to the mission and vision of what you're building. 2. It's your job to find the joy in the process of building. It'll be infectious. 3. Strategy is way less important than execution. 4. People want you to win. They'll help you. Pay it forward when you can. 5. Your first customers will teach you more in a day than you'll learn in a month on your own. 6. Learn to be present. 50% of your attention is worth 0% of your time. 7. The right team pointed at the right problem is most of the job. 8. Some moments require flexibility, others rigidity. Practice being able to spot which is which. 9. Establish your company as a c-corp based in Delaware.
