The benefit to building a startup is that customers don't have the same kind of friction when they adopt new technology.

In the enterprise you want to start intentionally small.

The best technology is aimed far enough in the future that it stands out, but close enough to the present that it blends in.

The 10% between 90% done to 100% done takes most of the time, causes most of the stress, but is all of the value.

My downtime tends to resemble my uptime. Weekends are workdays, but toned down. Over the whole weekend, I may have five meetings, as opposed to six on a weekday. I used to play piano for 30 minutes at night, but I had to pull that out of my schedule. I don't have time for nonwork stuff.

Every single industry is going through a major business model and technology oriented disruption.

Go after the customers that are working in the future, but haven't totally lost their minds.
