The life of a founder is a continuous stream of many, many decisions. One founder told me that things weren't going well.
I asked, "How many decisions did you make last week?"
She said, "Hardly any."
 
I asked back, "So what kind of change are you hoping for?" (p. 117)
 
 
(Ye Byeong-il's Economy Note)
 
If you want change, you have to make decisions.
 
The exchange between the president of the New York Angels (the author) and a founder is striking.
 
"Things aren't going well."
"How many decisions did you make last week?"
 
"Hardly any."
"So what kind of change are you hoping for?"
 
Yes. It's an obvious fact, but one we often forget in everyday life.
And still we hope for change, innovation, growth, and results.
 
There's no other way. If you want change, you have to make decisions.
