Here are some of my favorites, what are yours?
- You're definitely going to end up building too much and shipping too late. Be obsessive about avoiding this
- Someone's always already working on the same idea and that's not a bad thing
- Linear growth can be worse than no growth
- "Ads" are where business models go to die
- The people you end up wanting to work with (and help) are the ones who always try and work out how they can help you. Be more like them
- Only say you're going to introduce someone or send them something if you're actually going to do it. People quickly get a reputation for never following through
- Show don't tell. "I'm going to build this amazing thing" is a LOT less interesting than "I've built this slightly crappy thing that actually does something". EVERYONE is GOING to build something, most people never do
