Essentials of how to do a startup do not include writing a business plan

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.'

You need to ask yourself, ‘Where do you want to work: startups, mid-size or large companies?’ If you find yourself debating the ‘startup versus large company’ choice you’ve already chosen the big company. Entrepreneurship isn’t a career choice it’s a passion and obsession.

Startups don’t fail because they lack a product; they fail because they lack customers and a profitable business model.

There are no facts inside the building so get the hell outside.

Using the Product Development Waterfall diagram for Customer Development activities is like using a clock to tell the temperature. They both measure something, but not the thing you wanted.

Build and they will come’ is not a strategy, it’s a prayer.
