The big things that worked

Great internet ideas are hard to protect. Build a “moat” as quick as you can!

The big things that worked

Hire fast, fire faster.

&

Good people will earn back the extra $10k they are looking for.

&

Don’t fit round pegs into square holes.

The big things that worked

Blow people out of the water with exceptional customer service.

The big things that worked

Be as transparent as possible with your staff.

The things we learned

Don’t always listen to the ‘sample size of 1’ when developing.

The things we learned

Your customers represent your brand.

The things we learned

You need to have thick skin.

Big Stuff

If you are going to fail … fail as fast as you can.

&

Get as much feedback as possible from your networks… it will save you money

in the long run.

Big Stuff

Don't reinvent the wheel.

&

Focus on the 90/10 - Things that will move the needle.

Big Stuff

Do stuff, shit happens - The worse thing you can do is delay a tough decision.

Big Stuff

Owning 5% of something massive is better than 100% of something average.

Big Stuff

Clocking up hours for the sake of it is dumb.

Lasting thought

Everyone you meet in life is fighting a battle you know nothing about, so be kind.

… but make sure you have thick skin if you are entering the startup game
