I’ve found out this post from O’Reilly Radar that had a bunch of proverbs on Entrepreneurship (is that the word?).

As more and more web startups are popping out everyday due in part to the somewhat low costs of technology nowadays and lots of web 2.0 hype going around it’s always good to feel a little confidence boost and inspiration for the mind.

So, read the Entrepreneurial Proverbs and browse the handy advices too, who knows maybe you’ll use them in the (near) future.

Some of my favorites are:

“Momentum builds on itself — just start. Do whatever you can. Draw a user interface. Write a spec. Make something, anything, that people can see and touch and try. A prototype is worth ten thousand words. Once you start moving, you will find that people start to carry you along.”

“Your ideas will get better the more you know about business — engineers hate to hear this, but you can generalize up quite far from here: the more you know about everything, the better all of your ideas will get!”

“Great things are made by people who share a passion, not by those who have been talked into one — a corollary of the last; you can spark a passion in someone, but you can’t do it without some fuel to catch. Better to wait, and find the person who is already inclined to believe in your cause. You may talk someone into co-founding a company with you, but will they stick with it through ups and downs if they had to be persuaded that hard?”

And finally the number one in my book of golden rules:

“Build the simplest thing possible — engineers have the hardest time with this, with not over designing for the need they’re addressing. Make the simplest possible product that makes a significant dent in that need, and you’ll do far better than you would addressing two or three needs at once. Simplicity leads to clarity in everything you do.”
