“Why do they teach physics in high school? It’s useless in real life!”
Here are some concepts from physics I use on a regular basis in business and life:
Inertia: getting started is the hardest part.
Coefficient of rolling friction: much less energy to keep going.

Potential energy versus kinetic energy: how many people sign up versus how many people finish?
When you start a company, you raise money on potential. When you are three years in, you’re raising based on how well you were able to convert it into kinetic.

Entropy: All systems get corrupted. It’s not good enough to build something once. Everything needs to be improved, or it will die.

The relationship between position, velocity, acceleration, and time.
Track your numbers (position), but also how fast your numbers are growing (velocity), and also how fast that rate of growth is growing (acceleration).
