Execution gets divided into two key questions: 1) can you figure out what to do and 2) can you get it done.

Two other things that we hear again and again from our founders, they wish they had done earlier, and that is... simply writing down how you do things and why you do things.

You should be able to describe any employee as an animal at what they do.

Companies that I've been very involved with, that have had a very bad first hire in the first 3 or so employees never recover from it.

I prefer to invest in a company that's going after a small but rapidly growing market than a big but slow growing one.

The other piece besides focus for execution is intensity. Startups only work at a fairly intense level.
