The Key To Evangelism Is A Great

You Know In A Startup, You Only Need Three People. You Need Someone Who Can Make Something. You Need Someone Who Can Sell It. And You Need Someone To Collect The Money. That's The Only Three Roles In A Startup. So Which One Are You?

If You Truly Don't Have Competition, Then Zoom Out Until You Can Define Some. Competition Can Be As Simple As The Reliance On The Status Quo, Microsoft (since At Some Point Microsoft Will Compete With Everyone For Everything), Or Researchers In Universities. Pick Something, Because Saying You Have No Competition At All Is A Nonstarter.

If You Want To Make A Good First Impression, Smile At People. What Does It Cost To Smile? Nothing. What Does It Cost Not To Smile? Everything, If Not Smiling Prevents You From Enchanting People.

At The End Of My Life, Is It Better To Say That I Empowered People To Make Great Stuff, Or That I Died With A Net Worth Of $10 Billion? Obviously I'm Picking The Former, Although I Would Not Mind Both.

Just Do What's Right For The Customer, And You'll Be Okay.
