8 simple lessons to make things better!

1. Determine why you want to do something before doing it. If you can't find one good reason, maybe it's unimportant.

2. Focus on one thing because when you concentrate on just one project, you get more out of it. Don't try to do a bunch of things as it usually doesn't work out well.

3. Hire intelligent people because they can learn and do more over time. Smarts matter more than just the skills they have right now.

4. Aim for excellence. Being the best often means you win big, so it's worth the extra effort.

5. Pay attention to details because little things can tell you much about more significant issues.

6. Don't procrastinate! If you've got something to figure out, get it done. Talking about what you will do later is a waste of time.

7. Listen to different opinions, especially those disagreeing. They might have good ideas that can help you do things better.

8. Trust your team first! Not everyone outside your company will have the same goals as you.
