One thing that founders always underestimate is how hard it is to recruit.

Aim to be the best in the world at whatever you do professionally. Even if you miss, you'll probably end up in a pretty good place.

You think you have this great idea that everyone's going to come join, but that's not how it works.

One of the great and terrible things about starting a start up is that you get no credit for trying.

Wait to start a startup until you come up with an idea that you feel compelled to explore.

Most founders have not managed people before, and they certainly haven't managed managers.

You should be giving out a lot of equity to your employees.
