  • Great co founders are very important. Should always cultivate a group.
  • Don’t make friends with people who you wouldn’t want to start a company with.
  • Its all about networking.
  • Being your own boss sucks if you don’t build anything of value.
  • Building a product you love is crucial.
  • Build something where you are the target audience.
  • Build a company you want to keep.
  • Don’t complicate your work and hierarchy structure.
  • In the early days, be clever only about your idea.
  • It gets better but it also gets harder.
