30. Find out what you love…
…and let it kill you!
Charles Bukowski
31. Only do your One Thing.
Everything else is a distraction.
32. Your One Thing…
…falls at the intersection of 3 truths:
□ What you and your team are most passionate
about
□ What you and your team have a realistic shot at
being the best in the world at
□ A huge untapped market opportunity
34. … to launch and accelerate!
□ Gather information.
□ Create your strategy.
□ Discuss. Review. Refine.
□ Add “calculated” to risks.
35. … to launch and accelerate!
□ Gather information.
□ Create your strategy.
□ Discuss. Review. Refine.
□ Add “calculated” to risks.
It is not about the plan.
36. … to launch and accelerate!
□ Gather information.
□ Create your strategy.
□ Discuss. Review. Refine.
□ Add “calculated” to risks.
It is not about the plan.
It is about the planning!
38. … but don’t outsmart yourself!
□ Resist perfection and the urge to create.
□ Launch and release early. And often.
□ Seek feedback. Evaluate. Recalibrate.
□ Always keep in mind the 80/20 rule (it goes for
everything).
□ Fail fast. But fail smart!
40. It is not really about you…
□ Have amazing co-founders that are better at what
they do than you will ever be.
□ Work with people you get excited about, people
you trust. And people who are passionate about
what you are doing and where you are heading.
□ Lead, don’t micromanage. Bring out the greatness in
your team.
□ It IS about the customer!
