In my home office, I have two large, 30-inch computer monitors - a Mac and a PC. They share the same mouse and keyboard, so I can type or copy and paste between them. I'll typically do Web stuff on the Mac and e-mail and chat stuff on the PC.

As an entrepreneur making decisions for your company, always go back to your first principles of what's important to you and why you started in the first place.

The biggest motivation is not the money but the impact.

For me, it always comes back to the blogger, the author, the designer, the developer. You build software for that core individual person, and then smart organisations adopt it and dumb organisations die.

Akismet started on a $70 dollar-a-month server. Anyone can scrape together $70.

There's no financial aspect to stats.

It's good to work for someone else. Because then you appreciate it more when you are an entrepreneur.
