“You can’t motivate people.
You can only create an environment
where a motivated person can succeed.
Martin Luther King Jr. said ‘I have a
dream,’ not ‘I have a plan.’”
Start each day by asking:
How quickly can we prove or disprove
our hypothesis? And if it’s wrong, what are the
next 25 hypotheses that we want to test?”
Be honest about the
realities of “falling fast and often.”

“I have never been wrong so much…I’m wrong
all the time, and that’s okay. I’m a huge fan of
making mistakes…As long as you don’t make
the same mistakes twice.”

team members are “at cause, not effect.”

“You can manipulate the way your
brain works and processes external stimuli.
We are the people who get to decide
exactly what happens to us.”
When you hire individuals who default to this
type of thinking your team will “operate at the
intersection of hard work, mental investment,
and a positive attitude. That’s where the perfect
harmony of the team comes together.”
Always prioritize one-on-one’s with your team.
This is especially important for new hires. Help
each new team member map out a plan where
he or she can experience small achievements
early in their career. Consider the goals as
“bright lights in short tunnels.”

“When you grow on the people side you
have to be very conscious of the culture.
What you’re doing is building infrastructure
to last throughout the organization.”

consistently do great work.
Prioritize these four traits in new hires:
Internal Drive: “External validation can dry up
very quickly. All of us need to find a renewable
source of internal energy so if and when
external validation dries up there’s a fire
inside that keeps pushing us.”
Prioritize these four traits in new hires:
Character: Make it a top priority to work with
authentic and mission-driven individuals.

Positive and Productive Attitude:
“This is an intense environment, as many
startups are. A good attitude can be the
difference between greasing the wheels to
solve a problem or not being able to do it.”
Once on board, use these three
criteria to measure contribution.
Real Ownership:
“We want people to identify gaps in the
organization and then step up and into those
gaps. We need everyone to act like
owners in this business.”

criteria to measure contribution.

“Every dollar spent is a dollar of dilution.”
- Eric Paley, Managing Partner
at Founder Collective
Encourage team members to approach
each decision considering the impact it
will make on the company’s burn rate.
The difference between managing a
budget at a large corporation and at a
startup is that at a startup, you have to
determine how to make it happen.

“You have to raise more or you’re burning
what you have. You’re all diluting.”
Make it clear that: “The less we spend, the
more of this company we own. The more we
own, the more we’ll all have at the end.”
