Formula for entrepreneurial success

From Ev WilliamsCEO of Medium, great short insights of something that I’ve been thinking about a lot:

1.

Work with Amazing PeopleDon’t compromise on who you choose to found your company with and hire. Do not put up with ego-centric personalities or downer attitudes.

2.

Take on Big ChallengesIt’s pretty simple: Hard things are valuable; easy things are not so valuable. Reaching the mountaintop is rewarding because it is hard. If it was easy, everybody would do it.

3.

FocusSay no to most things: Features. People. Partnerships. “Coffees.” Projects. Only a few of them really matter. (Yes, it’s hard to know which.) Don’t get distracted.

4.

Take Care of YourselfWhen you don’t sleep, eat crap, don’t exercise, and are living off adrenaline for too long, your performance suffers. Your decisions suffer. Your company suffers.

5.

Love those Close to YouFailure of your company is not failure in life. Failure in your relationships is.

Really nicely done data storytelling, explain in overall grand picture of the death tolls across history. 

Sad data with a very important insight, we never count the peace and the people who didn't dye.

My goal has been to expand opportunity to as many people as possible so they can reach their potential.

Pierre Omidyar, I couldn't agree more with you!

When I first started working as a software engineer, I had really high standards, and I often felt other people weren’t meeting them. But over time, I realized that even if others on the team weren’t doing everything as perfectly as I wanted them to, if they got 80 percent of the way there, then that’s awesome. Because there are five of them, and five times 80 percent is much larger than 100 percent of me. That led me into this idea of leveraging other people. Let them bring their own skills and talents to the table. They’ll solve problems in a different way than you would yourself.

This weekend I attended Chicas Poderosas Miami, and I was not happy. I wanted a workshop environment. I wanted more training. I wanted to stop talking about feelings and start looking at code.

I was so used to journalism school, structured workshops and big conferences that I struggled with...
