If it takes more than a sentence to explain what you are doing, it's almost always a sign that what you are doing is too complicated.

Another way of looking at this, is that the best companies are almost always mission oriented.

In the beginning of a company, there is no management and this actually works really well.

If you pivot, do it fully and with conviction. The worst thing is to try to do a bit of the old and the new-it's hard to kill your babies.

The single word that matters most I think to keep the company productive as it grows is alignment.

Don't let the company get distracted or excited about other things. A common mistake is that companies get excited by their own PR.

Obsess about the quality of the product.
