Sometimes I share their view of the people they write about. Other times I don’t. Ultimately, that is what disappointed me about each of the books.

It turns out that Nate and Natty spent most of their time simply searching for what they were looking for. Whenever a specific topic came up, they’d use Google, be patient when reading through the search results and forums, refine their search, and keep trying. But they often quickly ended up back at Google searching away.

Specifically, they should search for their business model, and long term strategy, before stepping on the gas. When companies accelerate (search for growth) too early, they often drive right over a cliff. The theory is that early in their life, companies should be patient for growth but impatient for profit. This is good capital.
