Alex's Tips

  1. The highs are higher / the lows are lower - The key to success is to maintain balance and a level head through both.
  2. Surround yourself with the best people possible - you cant do it alone.
  3. Make sure you think through why you are starting a company, what are your personal / professional goals and where you want your company to be in 5 years. It will help you make the right decisions along the way.

Good tips Alex. I guess I like No. 2 best, it is essential to gather only the best people in your company. And it is visible that you follow your own tips, especially in Yourminis and how often you add new innovative features.
The only thing I am wondering about is why people stick to their own mistakes instead of learning on all the tips from people that have already done these mistakes?
