I’m trying to avoid building something people used to want but no longer do.

I started three companies and two were successes, and even though they comprised more than two decades of my life, I feel like I remember a grand total of six important hours between them. Meanwhile, I still remember the shed I built for my father in the first summer after college. Whatever seems unimportant, you will care about the most. 2. The thing you do today, you will probably do tomorrow. I've wasted a lot of time, but most people I know ...
