Press releases are easier to write than code, and that is still easier than making a great product.

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.

You have to be decisive. Indecisiveness is a startup killer.

So you should always stay on top of people's vesting schedules.

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.

... and you can only have 2 or 3 things everyday, because everything else will just come at you; you know fires in a day.

The other piece besides focus for execution is intensity. Startups only work at a fairly intense level.
