Founders: if you were to start a company all over again today, what would you do differently? What would you do the same way?
Key lessons I learned founding 3 startups.
1 Optimize for size of pie, rather than slice
2 Join a CEO group
3 Success hinges on the quality of your team (so this needs to be #1 focus)
4 When things break, look inward first
5 Waiting to do hard thing will only make them worse
It's OK to predict the future and be wrong. BUT — Being a believer is more profitable than being a skeptic, because if you're a skeptic and right, you make no new thing happen.
If you're a believer and you're right, something awesome happens. Nice incentive to be positive sum.

2:59pm - I should really start thinking about tax-planning for when I become a billionaire.
