Learning Is The Essential Unit Of Progress

There Is No Greater Country On Earth For Entrepreneurship Than America. In Every Category, From The High-tech World Of Silicon Valley, Where I Live, To University R&d Labs, To Countless Main Street Small Business Owners, Americans Are Taking Risks, Embracing New Ideas And - Most Importantly - Creating Jobs.

It Doesn't Matter If You Call It A Boom Or A Bubble. The Startup Business Moves In Cycles, And What Goes Up Will Eventually Come Down.

Our Educational System Is Not Preparing People For The 21st Century. Failure Is An Essential Part Of Entrepreneurship. If You Work Hard, You Can Get An 'a' Pretty Much Guaranteed, But In Entrepreneurship, That's Not How It Works.

As You Consider Building Your Own Minimum Viable Product, Let This Simple Rule Suffice: Remove Any Feature, Process, Or Effort That Does Not Contribute Directly To The Learning You Seek.

The Way Forward Is To Learn To See Every Startup In Any Industry As A Grand Experiment.
