I called this week’s theme the Power of Discipline. Sometimes one has to let go and surrender. And sometimes one has to wait for inspiration to come. But without discipline little gets built. I am in such a space right now. I have spent most of 2020 with research, observation, and lots of inspiration. Now is the time for discipline.  Not just in SolarAcademy, but in everything.

On that note, I’d like to highlight one of my best role-models on the topic of discipline. Fred Wilson is my favorite venture capitalist. He has been blogging every single weekday without a skip for 18 years about his work. The end result is one amazing community for him to share his wisdom with and also learn from. I can only wish that SolarAcademy becomes a similar success one day…
