•
Shaan: the 48-hour constraint is brilliant because it makes overthinking impossible. Most would-be entrepreneurs spend months in analysis paralysis. The constraint forces action, and action builds courage faster than planning.
•
Shaan: pre-selling (getting customers to pay before building) is the stoic approach to entrepreneurship. You control the input (asking for money) and let the market control the output (whether they pay). No guessing needed.
