You need someone that behaves like James Bond more than you need someone that is an expert in some particular domain.

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

Firing people is one of the worst parts of running a company. Actually in my own experience, I think it is the worst.

I care much more about the growth rate of the market than it's current size and I also care if there's any reason it's going to top out.

You want an idea about what you can say. I know it sounds like a bad idea but here's specifically why its actually a great one. You want to sound crazy but you want to ask to be right.

You cannot create a market that doesn't want to exist.

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