What Uber Knew That You Forgot

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. Perfection is a trap.
   It convinces you to stay still while others lap you.

2. The best offers come from pain.
   Solve the thing that’s annoying or frustrating for people and they’ll pay fast.

3. No one’s asking for perfect.
   They just want their problem gone.

4. The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
   Starting is easiest when the pressure is still low.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. You don’t need 10 steps. You need the next one.
   That’s where clarity lives. Do the one thing in front of you.

2. Big businesses are just a series of small wins stacked up.
   No one skips the messy part. You build through it.

3. You can always clean things up later.
   But you can’t recover time you wasted waiting.

4. People respect action.
   Customers, partners, and your own team move faster when you do.

4 Challenges for You Today

1. Pick one clear problem you can solve this week.
   Not five. Just one. Go all in on solving it for your customer.

2. Write down three things you’re waiting on “perfect” for.
   Then cross out the word “perfect” and do them anyway.

3. Share something you’ve built even if it’s messy.
   Progress shared builds trust and momentum.

4. Grab a copy of Magician vs Mule.
   It’ll show you how to stop waiting and start building in a way that compounds.
