You never want to be in a place where an employee has vested 3 out of the 4 years of stock and they start thinking about leaving.

Aim to be the best in the world at whatever you do professionally. Even if you miss, you'll probably end up in a pretty good place.

Employees will only add more value over time.

A small communication breakdown is enough for everyone to be working on slightly different things. And then you loose focus.

You want to think about what is the path for my first 10 or 15 employees going to be as the company grows.

Companies that I've been very involved with, that have had a very bad first hire in the first 3 or so employees never recover from it.

Study the unusually successful people you know, and you will find them imbued with enthusiasm for their work which is contagious. Not only are they themselves excited about what they are doing, but they also get you excited
