Seven Golden Rules For Startups & Entrepreneurs

MMM Tips & Advice

I thought I’d try a fun little experiment and throw out the following question on Twitter:
“If you were to choose one golden rule for startups and entrepreneurs, what would it be?”
and then see what everyone’s feedback would be and share it over here with you all.

Here are the first seven replies I got:

  • Always have fun #
  • Read Guy Kawasaki’s the Art of the Start, and his upcoming book Reality Check #
  • A startup’s job isn’t to save money, it’s to invest as much in the business intelligently as you can so that the gamble will pay off #
  • Creating customer personas to narrow down your target market which would also help your business plan #
  • Be different #
  • Business is not about ideas, it’s about initiatives #
  • Do not reinvent the wheel #

Thanks to everyone who replied, sending in their golden rules, and helping create this post.

Please do add to the list and enrich it by sharing your golden rules in the comments section.

  1. Too cool. I don’t think I’ve ever been mentioned in the same post as Guy before. We’re definitely at opposite ends of the tax brackets. 🙂
