The world is run by those who show up not those who wait to be asked.

A startup is a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.

Disruption on the first day always looks like a toy.

The company that consistently makes and implements decisions rapidly gains a tremendous, often decisive, competitive advantage.

When you're gone would you rather have your gravestone say, 'He never missed a meeting.' Or one that said, 'He was a great father.'

My advice was to start a policy of making reversible decisions before anyone left the meeting or the office. In a startup, it doesn't matter if you're 100 percent right 100 percent of the time. What matters is having forward momentum and a tight fact-based data/metrics feedback loop to help you quickly recognize and reverse any incorrect decisions. That's why startups are agile. By the time a big company gets the committee to organize the subcommittee to pick a meeting date, your startup could have made 20 decisions, reversed five of them and implemented the fifteen that worked.

A business model describes how your company creates, delivers and captures value.
