Core Principle Profitability is a superpower. It gives you infinite runway, clarity, and control. Spend less than you make. It sounds simple, but it's not easy. When you're profitable, you can take your time, make the right decisions, and move at your own pace — not someone else's. Don't Spend Money You Don't Have The Equation Profit = Revenue - Costs Make more than you spend: your company can keep going forever. Make less: you will eventually fail. Two Types of Costs Variable Costs (COGS) Scale with each unit sold: payment processing, hosting, fraud prevention Example: At Gumroad, 40¢ of variable cost per $1 earned Fixed Costs Don't scale with revenue: domain, hosting, people The #1 fixed cost is always people Cost-Cutting Rules Pay yourself as little as possible, at least to start. Sahil started at $36K/year in San Francisco. When things went sideways in 2015, he paid himself $0. Increase your salary as the company can afford it. Hire software, not humans.
