Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Mission first, always. A powerful purpose keeps your business focused and attracts people who believe in your cause.

2. Fail fast, learn faster. The sooner you disprove your assumptions, the sooner you can pivot toward what really works.

3. Find opportunities in the ordinary. The biggest wins often hide in unsexy industries that impact millions.
