If you can't get an intro to a VC, hang up your cleats now. You're done, GAME OVER

Persistence, persistence, persistence. I'm surprised how few entrepreneurs follow up.

I want the definition of startup back. To be used by anybody who is willing to take the risk to quit their corporate job and go out and try and build an innovative, disruptive, tech-enabled business that tries to change the way things work in the world.

Entrepreneurs make fast decisions and move forward knowing that at best 70% of their decisions are going to be right. They move the ball forward every day. They are quick to spot their mistakes and correct.

I usually tell people that everything I learned about being an entrepreneur I learned by f'ing up at my first company.

Individuals don't build great companies, teams do.

Good entrepreneurs have a chip on their shoulders. They are out to prove something.
