You'll have to hire people to expand your business. But it's a good discipline to really question if you need each and every hire.
From James Altucher
Products are valued higher than services.
Don't buy into the 20-hours-a-day entrepreneur myth. You need to sleep 8 hours a day to have a focused mind.
Whenever things are good, I always worry about what could go wrong.
You can't make money without selling something real. You can't make something real without first imagination manifesting itself in your head. You can't have imagination without surrendering yourself to an idea that you want to create something of value to other human beings.
Take control of who you report to, what you do, what you create. Or start a business on the side. Deliver some value, any value, to anybody, to somebody, and watch that value compound into a career.
If you introduce person A to person B, and then person B is able to solve a pain point in his life, then you just made a good connection.
My feeling, based on my own experience, is that aiming for grandiosity is the fastest route to failure.
I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I'm almost embarrassed to recount them.
When I give away a book for free, it gets my name out there. That has lifelong value for me that goes way beyond the few dollars I could maybe charge.
