Bend over backwards for customers.
Deal with disrespectful partners.
Take investments from folks who don't have the same vision as you do and bend the terms to their liking.
How you know you've made it:
You get to stop doing business with assholes.
No asshole clients.
No asshole partners.
No asshole investors.
Bend over backwards for customers.
Deal with disrespectful partners.
Take investments from folks who don't have the same vision as you do and bend the terms to their liking.
And you can start firing the bad customers.
Breaking up with the bad partners.
And buying out the bad investors.
F U money is the next phase...
It happens a few million later when you become one of the assholes.
Tip:
Get F U money but don't become an asshole.
When we start, we have none. Others have it all.
You have no negotiation power because they have everything YOU need and YOU are a commodity.
Not just anyone can do what you can do. So you can negotiate more for yourself.
You aren't a commodity anymore.
And you set the terms and the other person doesn't get to act like an asshole.
Clients need you more than you need them.
Partners need you more than you need them.
CAPITAL becomes a commodity.
Cash needs you more than you need cash. And investors lose the leverage and you gain the leverage.
Thats when you have an opportunity to carve out better terms and more ownership.
And even more money.
And the snowball continues to roll down the hill.

Inflation is coming, inflation is coming!
Last month I wrote about the distinction between long-term secular inflation and shorter-term cyclical inflation
It has been clear for several months that we are in the middle of a cyclical rise in
The full thread can be reviewed here:
Today's PPI report should have been expected to surprise to the upside as the leading indicators of inflation have been screaming to the upside for months!
Here is the ISM prices paid index, cumulated into a growth rate
3/
Industrial commodity prices have also seen a major acceleration for months.

So today's PPI report was in line with the leads, suggesting that we have a cyclical upturn in inflation that is * primarily concentrated in the manufacturing sector *
This is a key point.

Now, in the short-term, the manufacturing sector is red hot, driven by a pent-up demand rebound in goods consumption.

Commodity prices are screaming which gives legs to "goods" inflation in the short-term.

Consensus continues to conflate the inflation story, mixing and matching long-term and short-term charts to fit what is generally a secular inflation narrative.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
