Here is the first in a series of wise sayings from the guys at 37 Signals
Great businesses have a point of view, not
just a product or service.
Writing a plan makes you feel in control of
things you don’t actually control.
You have the most information when you’re
doing something, not before you've done it.
Stuff that was impossible just a few years
ago is simple today.
Failure is not a prerequisite for success.
Don’t make assumptions about how big you
should be ahead of time.
Don’t sit around and wait for someone else
to make the change you want to see.
When you build what you need, you can
assess quality directly instead of by proxy.
Solving your own problem lets you fall in
love with what you’re making.
What you do matters, not what you think or
say or plan.
