How to use this today
Adopt this as your default operating loop instead of waiting for any phase to feel complete. Rough, scared, and live still beats polished, calm, and theoretical every single time.
Build it rough, ship it scared, fix it live. That's the whole secret.

- Readiness is a feeling that arrives only after you've already begun.
- Your first attempt isn't the product. It's the tuition.

- The gap between dreaming and doing is exactly one uncomfortable decision wide.
- You don't need the whole staircase. You need to trust that the next step will hold.
