Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Get out there and do it.
2. It takes years, a lot of mistakes, and a lot of time. Things don't happen at the speed you wanted them to. Having an awesome co-founder, a buddy that you can stick through laughter and horrible times with, it makes it all worth it in the end.
3. Life is a constant battle between what's good for you now and what's good for you down the road.
