Three word wisdom
You know how I feel about mantras, right? They’re indispensable and beat the heck out of mission statements. Along the same lines, Dharmesh Shah has compiled three-word snippets of advice for startups. Here are some of my favorites:
- Watch your cash
- Avoid business plans
- Delay raising capital
Then people left comments with great ones too—for example, “Sell every day.” I’ll add my own:
- Sales fixes everything
- Craft a mantra
- Skip mission statements
- Don’t hire relatives
- Always under promise
- Use a Macintosh
- Eat only noodles
- Fly Southwest Airlines
- Ship then test
- Do not partner
- Ten Twenty Thirty
But my best is “Read my book.”
