Things We Think We’ve LearnedThings We Think We’ve Learned
People are your most important asset and potentially your biggest nightmare (no matter what you do).
•Hire slow, fire fast.•Never hire your friends or family members. Firing them sucks and they’ll think and act like they own the place.•Hire for what you need in 6-12 months vs. what you need right now.•Heavy drinking with your employees can go VERY badly.•Drinking is OK after packing boxes, not before.

Everyone is in sales and customer service.
No customer service, no sales. No sales, no company.

Cash is king.
• Never take money from your friends or family members if you can avoid it. Thanksgiving dinner will suck.
• Don’t spend a dime you don’t ABSOLUTELY need to spend. You will need it later.
• Keep your day job as long as you can.

Things to realize when you start a business:
• You WILL fail/screw up in some major, potentially heart-stopping way.
• You will age in dog years not people years.
• If you take money, be prepared to be in this for life.

Leverage is everything.
The best time to negotiate with suppliers is when you have a major order coming in. The worst time is when you have nothing but a concept.
The bigger you get, the more leverage you get.

Facebook works better than Google.
It’s more targeted, lower cost, and more effective. At least for now.
