when a company is struggling, founders pitch the employees on vision. but what actually works is to just get short-term momentum back.

@sama What percentage of YC companies closed/sold but could've been great if they kept persevering?
@sama Struggle is lack of control and poor segmentation. Red-alert to narrow the focus to something bite-size and gain control.
@sama Great advice, but as a founder you learn to rejoice in even the smallest milestones but how do you suggest one relays this mentality?
@sama winning creates more winning~even if 'small' at first. Vital to string wins together~can become self-fulfilling. Works in reverse too
@sama in south africa people strike for extended periods of time crippling companies. Short term momentum is everything!
@sama @hunterwalk I remember pleading w/ founders of previous startup when moral was down. I tried explaining - We just need a damn “win”!
