A great product is not just based on a great idea, it is sustainable. So after you close your first round of financing, don't be tempted to think that business model has been validated. Funding is only validation of an idea and an entrepreneur. Therefore, your first task is to begin proving your idea has a viable business model, and from there build your product, communicate with your customers and iterate on building something meaningful to them.

MERCURY
Mercury is the planet nearest to the sun. It has a diameter of 3,031 miles, about two-fifths the Earth's
diameter. Because of Mercury's size and nearness to the brightly shining sun, the planet is often hard to see
from Earth without a telescope. The ancient Romans named it Mercury in honor of the swift messenger of
their Gods. Mercury has no moons.

38. People think focus means saying
“yes” to the thing you’ve got to
focus on. But that’s not what it
means at all. It means saying no
to the hundred other good ideas
that there are.
