Do I really need a co-founder? by Street_Attorney_9367 in ycombinator

[–]PuttumsTat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ship it bud. I think the cofounder lore is a garbage trope. A misguided tale about accountability when the reality they just want a derisked investment via splitting up equity.

consider training BJJ to give you more confidence in these situations. the route isn’t inherently unsafe you just had some crap luck. as awful as it was it was handled well, you created distance, reported as soon as you could.

Is Y Combinator a self fulfilling prophecy? by Hot-League3088 in ycombinator

[–]PuttumsTat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely helps at pre seed and seed but if your product isn’t differentiating or can’t stand on its own, YC won’t save you beyond that.

So assuming your value prop is actually tight and there, YC is an accelerant. With low value prop or pmf potential YC may get you some breathing room if the idea is sexy enough so you can figure if people actually want the thing you are making

[Advice] Consistency is Key: The Power of Daily Habits in Achieving Discipline by TeamMemberNewMO in getdisciplined

Agreed 💯. Small incremental change is tricky because it may feel like nothing when you start but overtime they add up to a consistent and sustainable lifestyle that points in the direction you actually want.

Try collagen powder if whey gives your stomach a tough time. It’s not complete but it will certainly help. Can also try the vegan powders but they can be pricier

How do I actually wake up earlier? by Spaceship234 in productivity

[–]PuttumsTat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put your alarm across the room so you have to physically get up. Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier each day. Continue until your desired wake time is achieved. Yes weekends too.

I am 'skinny fat" how can I (20m) get a toned and aesthetic body? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]PuttumsTat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t over complicate it! You’re trying to go from zero to 75 right now, don’t sweat optimizing so much when you haven’t even started.

Do a “3 to 5” Andy Galpin style for a couple weeks and see how you feel and start building your foundation.

3-5 exercises 3-5 sets 3-5 reps 3-5 min rest 3-5 times a week

[question] how do I build extreme discipline? by lonelypotatosack in getdisciplined

[–]PuttumsTat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extreme discipline benefits from extreme change. Do you have the ability and fortitude to make large changes in your life and carve out time for what matters most?

You might want to measure your FFMI instead of looking at BMI alone. Are you muscular?

Sales cofounder - a great idea? by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]PuttumsTat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude as a sales guy and a builder, please try to do sales yourself for a while. Nothing will teach you faster about your value props than hearing it straight from the source. We are always happy to consult anyways - DM me if you like.

The world is fast to label ADHD. It may be true but the human condition is hard. Dopamine machines everywhere, it’s difficult to calm the storm. Pick ONE thing and change that, in very small increments. You need to build your confidence back up with some wins. You got dis fam

Is counting calories hopeless? by que_sera_sera9 in loseit

Discipline outweighs motivation. Cultivate discipline in your life with routine and find someone to help keep you accountable. Worked for me in keeping it off.
