In 2025, work your ass off

Regardless of your age, and especially if you don’t have kids yet, you have zero excuses today to not start on your project. Stop wasting time with streaming services - in fact, cancel your subscriptions until you reach PMF. Stop playing video games - you’re a grown up now. Use that time to build and learn. Unwind by working more. Stop procrastinating - I’ve seen a recent post here on Reddit and the OP has such a long list of books to read on how to start a product. And they had nothing done… The only things you need to do are: 1. Make sure you’re building an AI native product. Look into the definition of this on NFX blog. Inflection points happen once a decade or so. This is it for the next 10-15 years. Do AI and nothing else. 2. Make sure you work on the right problem. If you succeed your startup should be able to change an industry. If it doesn’t you didn’t fall on the right idea yet. This is where idea guys are best as they spend months researching product strategy and markets - but anyone can fall on a good problem / opportunity to solve. If you didn’t yet, keep looking until you do. Stop wasting time with nonsense. Start putting 12-16 hour days and build the thing. You don’t need technical cofounders - use Cursor with Sonnet or DeepSeek. Use services to avoid the need for devops. Worry about scaling after you get there — if at all. Make 2025 be the year. Set a 3 months deadline and launch at whatever stage the product is. Work your ass off. Do the thing.
