'When governments go through leadership changes, it is generally expected that their whole staff gets replaced. It''s a bit weird to comprehend for those on the outside. When a new CEO for a company is hired, you might change out a few people, but you wouldn''t replace all the key folks. The turnover would be detrimental to company culture. Same goes for a baseball team.

'It’s a bit of a cliche these days to say that startups should get out of the building and talk to customers, yet not everybody does, and fewer still do it well. I think that’s because it’s easy to think that you already have a good feeling for customers, because talking with them is time consuming, because if you don’t do it the right way it’s easy not to learn anything, and because it takes some people out of their comfort zone.

'People are more likely to do something when they say (or write) that they will. For example, if you announce to your family you are going to work out at the gym today, wash the car, work late, reconnect with old friends, or anything else for that matter… you probably will since you have verbally committed to it; therefore you are much more likely to follow through on these tasks, than if you had said nothing at all.
