7 Lessons That Would Have Made Me a Better EntrepreneurRand Fishkin
This document provides 7 lessons that would have made the author a better entrepreneur: 1) Focus on doing one thing well rather than many things, as it is easier to build a brand. 2) Prioritize crafting an emotionally resonant story over tactics or pursuing big markets. 3) Build for an audience you have a connection to rather than one you don't. 4) Launch products that early testers rave about rather than minimal viable products. 5) Get quality work done in fewer hours rather than long hours which reduces productivity. 6) Hire for cultural fit and train for competence rather than hiring the wrong people. 7) Have reasonable expectations of success and consider options beyond becoming a unicorn or failing.
