TIME TO DO

STARTUP

The Rise of

Lack of…

Only do a startup when

you perceive yourself as a

missionary that should

solve that problem

Tenacity

Persistent in maintaining,

adhering to, or seeking

something valued or

desired. Not easily pulled

apart.

DON’T BUILD

YOUR TEAM

TOO FAST.

TEAMING IS

THE MOST

IMPORTANT

THING

• Competition… should be the best,

not the first

• So you need a super A class team

• Though it might seem late, it’s

co-founder, take your time.

• Look back on and try to think

someone who was a superstar

throughout your work history
