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.

As the company grows and about this 25 or so employee size, your main job shifts from building a great product to building a great company.

You want an idea that turns into a monopoly. But you can't get a monopoly, in a big market right away; too much competition for that.

Employees will only add more value over time.

You can't be focussed without really great communication

A board member of mine used to say sales fix everything in a startup, and that is really true.

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