Let op: ik heb slechts een aantal hoofdlijnen gequote, zie het origineel hierboven voor het volledige verhaal
#1. Be Narrow
Focus on the smallest possible problem you could solve that would potentially be useful. Most companies start out trying to do too many things
#2: Be Different
First of all, realize that no sufficiently interesting space will be limited to one player. Second, see #1—the specialist will almost always kick the generalist's ass. Third, consider doing something that's not so cutting edge.
#3: Be Casual
We're moving into what I call the era of the "Casual Web" (and casual content creation). This is much bigger than the hobbyist web or the professional web. Why? Because people have lives.
#4: Be Picky
One of Google's biggest strengths—and sources of frustration for outsiders—was their willingness to say no to opportunities, easy money, potential employees, and deals.
#5: Be User-Centric
User experience is everything. Always focus on the user and all will be well.
#6: Be Self-Centered
Great products almost always come from someone scratching their own itch. Create something you want to exist in the world.
#7: Be Greedy
Design something to charge for into your product and start taking money within 6 months. Done right, charging money can actually accelerate growth.
#8: Be Tiny
The most likely end game if you're successful is acquisition. Acquisitions are much easier if they're small.
#9: Be Agile
Many dot-com bubble companies that died could have eventually been successful had they been able to adjust and change their plans instead of running as fast as they could until they burned out, based on their initial assumptions.
#10: Be Balanced
Yes, high levels of commitment are crucial. And yes, crunch times come and sometimes require an inordinate, painful, apologies-to-the-SO amount of work. But it can't be all the time. Nature requires balance for health—as do the bodies and minds who work for you and, without which, your company will be worthless.
#11 (bonus!): Be Wary
Overgeneralized lists of business "rules" are not to be taken too literally. There are exceptions to everything
Zie vooral ook de link bovenaan, ik heb slechts wat quotes genoemd.
