It Will Never Work

Lessons From a Gaming Entrepreneur
• Don’t worry about your idea getting stolen-
  no one likes your idea as much as you do
• Sharing your ideas will make them suck less
You Can’t Do It Alone
     *but it will still feel like you’re doing 90% of the work




The one talent you think is useless will end up being
    the key component without which you fail
Time Rich, Money Poor
Benefit From Your Mistakes
Don’t Multiclass Your Wizard
(or at least don’t expect to make as much $$)
Life Is Not A Zero Sum Game

                 Negotiation is
                 the art of
                 VALUE
                 CREATION
Why Didn’t I Think of That!?
