None of us got to where we are alone. Whether the assistance we received was obvious or subtle, acknowledging someone's help is a big part of understanding the importance of saying thank you.

Just because an employee does things differently doesn't mean he or she won't do the job right or as well. If you establish expectations of the goal and the standards to follow, then methodology shouldn't be an issue.

If you have no destination, you'll never get there.

The life of a startup is full of ups and downs, an emotional roller coaster ride that you can't quite imagine if you've spent your whole career in a corporation.

If you don't climb the mountain, you can't see the view

You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and yours may be in the hands of the receptionist.

To me, job titles don't matter. Everyone is in sales. It's the only way we stay in business.
