Get your foot in the door and you’ve won half the battle. - Marc Randolph

You’ll learn more in one day of doing than in a month of thinking about it.

Assume the best.

Assume people will fulfill their promises.

That they will hold up their side of the bargain.

That they will also want a win/win outcome.

Don’t hedge your bets. Don’t cover your ass. Don’t use a lawyer. Leave yourself open to being taken advantage of.

99% of the time you will be amazed at what trust and vulnerability unlocks.

1% of the time you’ll be taken advantage of.

So worth it.

Perfect information doesn’t exist.

You’re always making a bet with incomplete data.

The question is whether you make that bet early, when the stakes are small, or late, when you’ve burned months and money protecting an idea that’s never been tested.
