#success
Something I've observed: The MOST successful people I've met (billionaire entrepreneurs/investors) are usually much more gracious and humble than VERY successful people who are on their way up. Maybe something to do with insecurity. An ounce of success is worth a pound of ego.
#gtd
One of the most undervalued qualities is pace. There's nothing better than working with people who urgently think about what comes next, and push to get there. Analysis paralysis kills good ideas.
#starting a company
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the last 5 years, it’s this: Starting companies is really hard. Tweaking existing companies to make them better is much easier and sometimes just as fun.

#momentum
An underrated and often overlooked quality we *always* look for when hiring: Scrappiness. Does the person naturally keep forward momentum going when small obstacles get in their way? Do they quickly figure out best practices? Do they default to yes?
#decision making
The key to making good decisions, is making fewer decisions.
#motivation
It's hard to pay someone to think like an owner.
