You'll hear "no" a lot (customers, investors). Don't take it personally. Ask "why not?" Use "no" to learn, refine, understand objections. Every "no" can get you closer to "yes." #rejection #learning

Crises happen (outages, bad PR). Have a plan. Communicate transparently. Take responsibility. Focus on solutions. How you handle crises defines leadership. #crisismanagement #leadership

Startups are uncertain. Get comfy with ambiguity. Focus on what you control: effort, attitude, learning. Decide with best info & adapt. Uncertainty = opportunity. #uncertainty #entrepreneurship

What's your unique, hard-to-copy advantage? Team, tech, data, community, partnership? Identify, nurture, leverage it. This sets you apart. Double down. #competitiveadvantage #usp

Data is crucial, but founder gut instinct matters. Best decisions often blend both. Use data to inform intuition, not replace it. Especially in new territory. #intuition #data #decisionmaking

Knowing when to stop a non-viable venture is a strength. Don't sink with the ship due to ego. Honestly evaluate: dip or dead end? Make the tough call if needed. #startupfailure #entrepreneurship

No founder is an island. Build a strong support system: mentors, advisors, peers, friends, family. They offer perspective & encouragement. Don't be afraid to ask for help. #supportsystem #mentalhealth

Aim for 10x disruptive innovation, not 10% improvements. (h/t Google X). What makes your solution 10x better/faster/cheaper? Challenge assumptions. #innovation #moonshotthinking

Where's your company in 5, 10, 20 years? A compelling long-term vision guides strategy, inspires team, attracts partners. Think beyond next funding/launch. What's your legacy? #vision #longtermstrategy

As you grow, build a defensible "moat." Network effects, high switching costs, brand, proprietary tech, data. Continuously strengthen your competitive advantages. #businessmoat #strategy

Not day-one focus, but consider long-term exit strategies (IPO, acquisition). Knowing what acquirers/markets want informs strategic decisions. Build a valuable company. #exitstrategy #ipo #acquisition

What impact beyond financial success? Mentoring, jobs, solving societal problems, fostering innovation? Think about your broader legacy. This is a powerful motivator. #legacy #impact #purpose

World never stops changing; your biz can't either. Continuously reinvent product, process, model to stay relevant. Kodak & Nokia missed this. Don't be next. Stay agile. #innovation #change

Remember the journey & who helped. Practice gratitude. As you succeed, give back to the startup ecosystem & community. Mentor, advise, invest. Success is sweeter shared. #giveback #gratitude #mentorship
