This article is a really good read for those who are either considering starting a business or are working at a new venture. As someone who is doing both, a lot of the “rules” really hit home for me.
Some of the rules that stood out for me are:
#7 No Offices.
At first my inclination was to agree, and then throw the caveat in about someone needing privacy. His counter is that there should never be anything private in a startup, and upon reflection, I agree.
#9 Keep The Organization Flat
Absolutely. Communication is only possible amongst equals. People who demand titles and hierarchies are interested in success – but primarily their own.
As I work on getting the day job financed, and kicking off the two side projects, I’ll definitely keep these rules in the front of my mind.
