Find People Who Are Competent

The Problem With The Internet Startup Craze Isn’t That Too Many People Are Starting Companies; It’s That Too Many People Aren’t Sticking With It.

That's Been One Of My Mantras - Focus And Simplicity. Simple Can Be Harder Than Complex.

When You're A Carpenter Making A Beautiful Chest Of Drawers, You're Not Going To Use A Piece Of Plywood On The Back, Even Though It Faces The Wall And Nobody Will Ever See It. You'll Know It's There, So You're Going To Use A Beautiful Piece Of Wood On The Back.

Simplicity Is The Ultimate Sophistication. It Takes A Lot Of Hard Work To Make Something Simple, To Truly Understand The Underlying Challenges And Come Up With Elegant Solutions. [...] It's Not Just Minimalism Or The Absence Of Clutter. It Involves Digging Through The Depth Of Complexity. To Be Truly Simple, You Have To Go Really Deep. [...] You Have To Deeply Understand The Essence Of A Product In Order To Be Able To Get Rid Of The Parts That Are Not Essential.

If You Haven't Found It Yet, Keep Looking. Don't Settle. As With All Matters Of The Heart, You'll Know When You Find It. And, Like Any Great Relationship, It Just Gets Better And Better As The Years Roll On.
