The Mashup:
Combining two good things doesn’t always result in something great, especially in the startup world.
Identity Crisis:
Founders often waste time on identity, but in reality, most identities have little impact. Focus on more important matters.
Overcorrecting Success and Failure:
Don’t assume that success at one startup guarantees success at the next. It’s often the opposite.
The Flawed Founding Team:
Build a team that complements each other’s strengths and weaknesses instead of copying each other.
Hiring Freeze:
Avoiding hiring can have serious consequences. Startups must know when and who to hire for success.
Firing Phobia:
Don’t be afraid to fire employees who aren’t the right fit. Startups need the right people in the right positions.
