1. The highs are higher / the lows are lower - The key
to success is to maintain balance and a level head
through both.
2. Surround yourself with the best people possible - you
cant do it alone.
3. Make sure you think through why you are starting a
company, what are your personal / professional goals
and where you want your company to be in 5 years.
It will help you make the right decisions along the
way.
4. Chances are your original vision for the company will
change as the company evolves - make sure you are
ready for that change.
5. Be ready to accept failure (9 out of 10 start ups fail)
6. Stay focused
7. Have fun
