At the end of the day in business, it's not about peer review and getting into a scientific journal. You either increase sales, or not.

When you're a good person, good things happen to you. You shouldn't be a good person with the expectation of therefore deserving good things, but in its purest form, I believe when you do good, good comes back to you.

If you're in enough places at enough times, then some of them are bound to be the right ones.

I would consider...Google Plus a push technology. It's closer to Twitter than to Facebook.

Create something, sell it, make it better, sell it some more and then create something that obsoletes what you used to make.

"No one is doing what we're doing." This is a bummer of a lie because there are only two logical conclusions. First, no one else is doing this because there is no market for it. Second, the entrepreneur is so clueless that he can't even use Google to figure out he has competition. Suffice it to say that the lack of a market and cluelessness is not conducive to securing an investment. As a rule of thumb, if you have a good idea, five companies are going the same thing. If you have a great idea, fifteen companies are doing the same thing.

Second, you need to spread the large amount of information knowledge that you've gained-pooping like an elephant. This means sharing information and discoveries with your fellow employees and occasionally even with your competitors.
