Here are some things to think of when you are in a startup. These come from my experiences founding Blackline GPS and budtobud and might reflect yours as well.
1. Nothing is simple but
2. Everything is doable.
3. Talk about what you are doing to a broad range of people. The feedback is extremely valuable.
4. Pitch all the time. That's how you get good and how you validate your ideas.
5. Be prepared to be on the clock 24hrs. That includes your dreams since sometimes good things come out of those half asleep ones.
6. What the company starts out to be might not be what it ends up being. Both Blackline GPS and budtobud changed directions.
7. Fail early so you can be better quicker.
8. Think big all the time but start small.
9. Don't be afraid to give some of the company for real value. Basically don't be Gollum.
10. Make sure you have fun and that means surround yourself with people you like in and out of the office.
