Failure is not the opposite of success; it's a part of success.

I had to choose between my vision and my company. I chose my company.

The goal of a business is to make something people want. Not to raise money, not to grow headcount, not to get press.

Build a business, not a startup. Startups are optimized for growth. Businesses are optimized for profit. Profit is what gives you freedom.

Your burn rate is your freedom rate. The less you spend, the more choices you have.

Raising money is often the worst thing you can do for a company that doesn't need it yet.
