Conviction creates momentum long before clarity shows up. Founders who move decisively, then learn and adjust, outperform those waiting for perfect certainty every time.

Lasting businesses are built long before the results show up. Founders who stay focused on fundamentals, especially when progress feels quiet, are the ones prepared when opportunity finally arrives.

Knowing when to say no often has less to do with the business and more to do with the people behind it. Paying attention to small inconsistencies early on is what protects your time, energy, and ability to say yes to the opportunities that actually fit.

Leadership is less about polishing a personal style and more about understanding the people you’re leading. The moments that resonate most tend to be the unexpected ones that feel human, curious, and slightly outside the norm.

Strong leadership shows up in the moments where trust replaces control. When capable people are given real ownership and the space to lead, the results almost always exceed expectations.

Growth isn’t always about chasing the next big win from somewhere else. Real progress happens when communities invest in their own people, ideas, and future.

Leadership isn’t about control or volume. It’s about trust, humility, and knowing when to step back. At Formula 50, we believe the strongest leaders create space for others to do their best work, letting results grow from ownership rather than ego.

We believe the best business ideas don’t come from staying buried in the grind, they come from stepping away long enough to see things differently. Creating space to reset, change your surroundings, and challenge your perspective is often what turns motion into real progress.

Formula 50 is a new startup, but it comes from decades of experience building, scaling, and learning the hard way. Justin Tysdal, who helped launch and grow Seven Corners from a small insurance idea into a national company, has seen every side of entrepreneurship: the good, the bad, and the sleepless nights in between.
