First one I would say is that you have to pick the biggest bully in the room to compete with. Second in the same on the same token you should not assume that you know people are smart. We should never assume that the customers are dumb and a lot of startup companies have this way of thinking like we need to go teach the customers. Customers may not understand the technology pieces. They may not see behind the curve but they often understand what it takes to solve problems and customers will be telling you in their own ways and you have to listen. The third thing is that you have to pick your battles in the sense that startups usually die out of indigestion not starvation. If you are really confident of where you are taking the company, often it is much better to take that one laser-like focus and then execute.
