## Core Frameworks
- It's always Day 1. Day 2 = stasis = irrelevance = death.
- Customer obsession, not competitor obsession. Work backwards from the customer.
- Working backwards: press release first.
- Type 1 vs Type 2: irreversible = slow down, reversible = speed up.
- The flywheel: selection → customer experience → traffic → sellers → selection.
- Regret Minimization: at 80, what will you regret NOT doing?

## Key Principles
- "Be stubborn on vision. Be flexible on details."
- "Your margin is my opportunity."
- "If you're not willing to be misunderstood, don't do anything new."
- "Missionaries build better products than mercenaries."
- "Gradatim Ferociter." — Step by step, ferociously.
