As long as you keep doing the right thing and have the best product, you can beat the bigger company.

Once your product is working, switch from not caring about this to caring about this a little bit.

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

A winning team feels good and keeps winning. A team that hasn't won in a while gets demotivated and keeps losing.
