Growth solves (nearly) all problems

Firing people is one of the worst parts of running a company. Actually in my own experience, I think it is the worst.

If you want something in a deal, just ask for it.

Every first time founder waits too long, everyone hopes that an employee will turn around. But the right answer is to fire fast.

You want to sound crazy, but you want to actually be right.

If someone is choosing between joining McKinsey or your startup it's very unlikely they're going to work out at the startup.

You need unstoppable people. You want people that are just going to get it done.
