The Cost of Capital Is High

The most straightforward is interest rates.

When you deposit money in a bank, the bank pays you interest. When you take out a mortgage to buy a house, you pay interest to the bank. Over a 30-year loan term, the interest equals the principal—on a $200,000 mortgage, you repay $400,000 in total ($200,000 principal plus $200,000 interest). This already represents the lowest cost of capital.

Crowds and Teams Are Different

As an individual, you can just do what you think is right—once you decide, go for it. But a team is much more complex. Sometimes, doing what’s right won’t work; if you insist on the “correct” approach, you might end up shutting yourself down in the process.
