Great execution is at least 10 times more important and a 100 times harder than a good idea.

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

Why couldn't it have been done 2 years ago, and why will 2 years in the future be too late?

Founders are usually very stingy with equity to employees and very generous with equity to investors. I think this is totally backwards.

Share results (financial and key metrics) with the company every month.

Study the unusually successful people you know, and you will find them imbued with enthusiasm for their work which is contagious. Not only are they themselves excited about what they are doing, but they also get you excited

Ideas by themselves are not worth anything, only executing well is what creates value.
