Work, fall in love, start a family — arguably the only purposes worth having in life. We work in order not only to support ourselves, but to give back to our communities and back to the planet.

Golden nuggets Rules in 140 characters or less by @Jack

“The responsibility of every #entrepreneur is to play with new things It gives You new ideas & might change the course of your business”. Recently I just jump into these post by @Jack — Twitter Founder — 10 golden nuggets Rules for anyone starting their own business:

An entrepreneur is not a person who starts a business—it’s someone who takes significant risks in building something for the world

Entrepreneurs build something they want 2 see in the world &makes bets w/ the world that everyone wants the same thing…sometimes u win

You have to be passionate about what u are building & build it          4 urself otherwise it won’t be fun & will cause a lot of contention in the long run

A great team can do great things. If you design and engineer a great team it will reflect in the product

Build a product like the Golden Gate Bridge - reliable & won’t fall down but is inspirational and delightful and will want to be shared

Your product should Show not Tell - it should show why its meaningful and if it resonates with people it’s doing the right thing

Building a product is important but so is building ur Board b careful who u put on ur board - u need ppl who can coach, teach & support U

When hiring a VC ask yourself is this someone that will push us in meaningful ways that add value to the company & not react 2 the market

Be prepared to show VCs 140 reasons why startup may fail & 10 reasons why it’ll succeed and ask do you trust us? If not we’ll find those that do

Some say you can’t have your foot on one dock and another in the canoe. I say why not? Move the dock
