1) Test your product and get it out into market...see if the dogs will
eat the dog food
2) Don't run out of cash
3) Eliminate human friction...one button on iPod, simplicity, simplicity
4) Focus...what is the most important thing to customer and what you can
do to uniquely solve it.
-- and eliminate items on fin statement like WC, anything not critical
to key customer need
5) Leadership: you are the meme...you are on a mission but everyone
picks up what you eminate...Sun always used the term Awesome (from
McNealy), Job's culture. You are the leader of organization: take care
of self, employees will also. You are the brand and heart of culture.
6) Think Big...go after things that count, one life to lead and go after
big problem, change society
7) Have fun: get the endorphines firing, lots of little stupid
things...leads to creative solutions
8) Partner and work with as many people as possible
David Rosenblatt of DoubleClick fame added:
9) Accountability: clear owner of each item who goes to bed focus and
worried about it.
10) Transparency: avoid layered bureaucracy and heavy processes that
obscure. Keep employees informed of all the company's tentacles,
challenges and opportunitities
