  • Keeping business simple
  • Making something more valuable than the dollars people give you
  • The intimacy of exchanging money
  • The idea of doing less than your competitors to beat them
  • Building an audience
  • The “real world”
  • Why an MBA program might not teach you much about entrepreneurism
  • Corporate structure
  • Focusing on what will not change
