Currently reading Zero to One by Peter Thiel. Took some notes down:

- Make incremental advances
- Stay lean and flexible. Try things out, iterate, and treat entrepreneurship as agnostic experimentation
- Improve on competition. You should build your company by improving on recognizable products already offered by successful competitors
- Focus on product, not sales. If your product requires advertising or salespeople to sell it, it’s not good enough. The only sustainable growth is viral growth"
I went to school for marketing (one of my biggest regrets). I developed this notion that branding is more important product design, which is such an erroneous thought to have.
There was a bunch online pet stores before the dot com crash. Homogeneous, yet their CEOs thought that having the most extravagant Superbowl commercial would differentiate their company from others. All those companies are non-existent today
