Tips for the Entrepreneur: Straight from Google

Google co-founder Larry Page provides several tips for entrepreneurs. This is a very interesting short video I found a few days ago. It is part of Stanford University’s Entrepreneurial Thought Leader Speaker Series.

Tip 1: Just don’t settle. Especially with employees, it is very important to find great people you are compatible with.

Tip 2: There is a benefit from being real experts. Experience pays off.

Tip 3: Have a healthy disregard for the impossible. Stretch your goals.

Tip 4: It is OK to solve a hard problem. Solving hard problems is where you will get the biggest leverage.

Tip 5: Don’t pay attention to the VC bandwagon. Don’t start a company just because you can. Instead, have a really good idea that is good regardless of the funding situation.
