I’ve spent years flying, and the sky has quietly taught me more about life and work than I ever expected.  There’s something about being 3,000 ft above the noise that makes the important things obvious 🛩️

1. Small inputs change everything.
A few millimetres on the controls can shift your entire direction.
In life too, small, steady adjustments beat dramatic moves.

2. Trust the instruments.
When things get shaky, emotion is the worst advisor. Pilots rely on their instruments; founders should rely on data.

3. Turbulence isn’t danger.
It’s uncomfortable, not catastrophic.
Most problems feel bigger than they are because we overreact.

4. Crosswinds happen.
You don’t fight them, you correct gently and keep moving.
Most of life is controlled drift with good decisions at the right moments.

5. The runway is longer than you think.
It always feels like you’re running out of room.
But there’s usually more margin than your mind believes.

6. Altitude fixes perspective.
What feels massive on the ground shrinks once you climb. Zooming out can change your perspective.
