The most rewarding thing about entrepreneurship is the ability to create something new that positively impacts the lives of others. The most frustrating thing is that its a lonely road.

They think their idea is perfect and are too afraid to iterate and pivot until the users tell them its perfect.

Never settle and always move fast.
Fire yourself every morning so you come to work with fresh ideas and passion.
Build a great team and company culture that can withstand the hardships of life at a start-up.
