'When I start working with product teams, one of the first things I try to do is to get them to stop thinking of their job as one of gathering and documenting requirements.

'Walmart has an enemy – inflated prices. Nirvana has (had) an enemy – hair bands. Google has an enemy – wasted search time.

'“I’ve spent over half of my time on this earth, studying my craft in front of audiences of 20 people, 35 people, 100 people. I learned the art of performance in venues where nobody knew or cared who I was. Where they would rather drink at the bar and socialize than hear what I had to say. I worked for their attention.

'I am a woodworker. It started when I was a teenager and worked in the construction trades for spending and school money, later progressing to a full fledged necessary hobby when we were facing a new house with a lot of empty rooms and I figured “well hell I’ll just build the furniture” Today I can spend literally 18 hours in my workshop and not even notice the time slip by, I get completely lost in activity and thought with the result being my own form of therapy as well tangi

Entrepreneurs, especially early stage ones, are often too nice for their own good and, equally often, it costs them both time and money. Because their companies are young and small, they, frequently, suffer from doubt and uncertainty and try too hard to please, whether it be with prospective customers, suppliers or employees.

'This post was originally published on the Buffer blog. Ever since we started Buffer a little over two years ago, people have been asking us about one question very specifically: How can I write great headlines for social networks and my blog?
