- Don't wait for a revolutionary idea ... it will never happen ... just focus on a simple, exciting, empty space and execute as fast as possible.
- Share your idea ... the more you share, the more you get advice and the more you learn ... meet and talk to your competitors.
- Build a community ... use blogging and social software to make sure people hear about you.
- Listen to your community ... answer questions and build your product with their feedback.
- Gather a great team ... select those with very different skills from you ... look for people who are better than you.
- Be the first to recognize a problem ... everyone makes mistakes ... address the issue in public, learn about and correct it.
- Don't spend time on market research ... rather, launch test versions as early as possible ... keep improving the product in the open.
- Don't obsess over spreadsheet business plans ... they are not going to turn out as you predict, in any case.
- Don't plan a big marketing effort ... it's much more important and powerful that your community loves the product.
- Don't focus on getting rich ... focus on your users ... money is a consequence of success, not a goal.
