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.

Most good founders that I know at any given time have a set of small overarching goals for the company that everybody in the company knows.

The best founders work on things that seem small but they move really quickly. They get things done really quickly.

The startups that do well are the ones that are working all the time.

... but the pendulum has swung way out of whack here. A bad idea is still bad, and the pivot happy world we're in today feels suboptimal.

Good startups usually take 10 years.

You're either not hiring at all or it's probably your single biggest block of time.
