When you focus your attention on something that has not happened yet it will create anxiety that will hinder everything. Stop worrying about the things that didn’t happen and start planning based on what’s happening now.

In our early years, when we fail to succeed in growing our Startup, it’s okay. We can always start again. When we’re already in our mid-40s and 50s (or older), screwing up comes at a high price, and a restart may no longer be possible.

Getting things done right away is good. But, when all of your efforts are countering your real goals and are only causing you anxiety and stress, maybe you should reconsider which priorities are urgent and which ones are pretending to be.

Most people focus on hiring more people, settling in a bigger office, or getting additional funding as a form of success. But for most Founders, at the early stages of their business, it’s all about taking away liabilities one at a time.

Equity is the most important asset of a startup, both in its formation and as it grows. As such, we have to be super mindful of when (and how hard) we pull that trigger.

No one ever actually tells Founders it's OK to quit. No one except other Founders, of course.

How do we build a diverse culture at our startups if we haven't established a safe space to discuss our differences?
