Set out with a purpose and meaning to make a difference, whether it’s in terms of increasing the quality of life, turning something wrong into right, or preventing the end of something good.
Make a mantra that should be short and crisp, followed by employees/team members.
Get going! Think different and polarize people. Find a few soul mates who balance you and are good at what they do.
Have a specific, simple business model.
Weave a MAT (milestones, assumptions, and tasks).
Create a niche, which is a unique product/service and adds great value to the customer.
Follow the 10/20/30 rule. Have 10 slides in your pitch, make sure your presentation is completed within 20 minutes, and your font size is 30 points.
Hire infected people, who are not only well educated and well qualified but also passionate about the product. Hire people who are better than you.
Make your product easy to use. Flatten the learning curve and don’t ask people to do something that you wouldn’t.
Don’t let people grind you down. Don’t believe people who tell you can’t succeed and won’t succeed.
