Startup thoughts:

Every action in a startup increases or decreases money, time-to-live, and morale.

If you thought product development was hard, wait until you try to distribute it.

“To succeed in business, you have to have a genuine interest in profitability. And most people don’t.” – Derek Sivers

“We didn’t get here by playing the rules of the game. We got here by setting the rules of the game.” – Chris Albrecht, CEO HBO
