Failure of your company is not failure in life. Failure in your relationships is.

When I meet with the founders of a new company, my advice is almost always, ‘Do fewer things.’ It’s true of partnerships, marketing opportunities, anything that’s taking up your time. The vast majority of things are distractions, and very few really matter to your success.

Marketing, when done well, is about story telling.

After high school, I enrolled at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, but I stayed only a year and a half. I felt college was a waste of time; I wanted to start working.

I suspect there's a lot of validity to the premise that big companies aren't going to attract entrepreneurial talent.

Failure of your company is not failure in life. Failure in your relationships is.
