Most things are not as risky as they seem.

There are 3 things I look for when I hire people. Are they smart? Do they get things done? Do I want to spend a lot of time around them?

One thing that often disrupts momentum and really shouldn't is competitors.

Whatever the founder cares about, whatever the founders think are the key goals, that's going to be what the whole company focusses on.

Stay focused and don't try to do too many things at once. Care about execution quality.

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

If someone is getting every decision wrong, that's when you need to act, and at that point it'll be painfully aware to everyone.
