Cotton with Cotton – November 1, 2010
Inc. Magazine always has interesting articles and surveys. Here is one of my favorites: “Words of Wisdom” from some of the top entrepreneurs. Here is what they had to say and I am quoting from the article:
- Get in over your head.
- Before you build the product, write the ad.
- Focus on simple things like profitability and execution. You don’t need to come up with the next Facebook to create a successful business.
- Keep the main thing the main thing.
- You will be remembered for how you deal with the ups and downs.
- Failing gracefully is more important than succeeding.
- Surround yourself with great partners and share the rewards.
- Hire slow; fire fast.
- It’s a lot harder to repair a train while it is rolling down the tracks, so get everything set up before you build momentum.
Read next week’s post for the remaining “Words of Wisdom”.
