Mark Cuban: The best advice I never got
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuCCBiYLoDwMark Cuban's 12 Rules for Startups
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=camXWnD4QcI1. Don't start a company unless it's an obsession or something you love
2. If you have an exit strategy, it's not an obsession.
3. Hire people who you think will love working there.
4. Sales will cure all.
Know how your company will make money and how you will actually make sales.
5. Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them. Pay up for people in your core competencies. Get the best.
6. An espresso machine? Are you kidding me? Coffee is for closers. There are 24 hours in a day, and if people like their jobs, they'll find ways to use as much of it as possible to do their jobs.
7. No private offices
Open office spaces keep everyone in tune with what's going on and keep the energy up.
8. About technology
9. Keep the organization
If you have managers reporting to managers in a startup, you will fail.
10. Never buy swag.
A sure sign of failure for a startup is when someone sends out logo-embroidered polo shirts.
11. Never hire a PR firm
Whenever you see any information related to your field, get the email of the person publishing it and send them a message introducing yourself and the company. They'll welcome hearing from the founder instead of some PR flack.
12. Make the job fun for employees.
Keep a pulse on the stress levels and accomplishments of your people and reward them.
