One of the most valuable lessons I learned as a founder

… accepting defeat.

Business is not a game of inches and yards.

Business is about the long game.

I have learned that basing big decisions off short-term metrics is a fool’s errand.

Here’s the truth:

You’re not going to win every battle.

Every quarter.

Every month.

But by keeping your eye on the prize of winning the year, your trajectory will remain steady and sure.
