These are well articulated and were just what I needed to read this morning - particularly item #1 equating work to marathon training. Definitely bookmark-worthy...

I couldnt have said it better. Too many people need to learn these lessons which are real, pragmatic and would help them keep their sanity and BP down in many otherwise chaotic instances. Comments on Product Mgt are also very good. I would aslo add: * develop a thick skin and a batting average mentality * conceptualize success on many levels...i.e. you will hit singles, doubles, sometimes strike out. * respect operations and line managers perspective, they are on the front daily...but dont let that deter you from looking at how to change things, improve things and in some cases, kill them off when they have outlived their time.

I am not starting a business now but it is something I have considered, and I forwarded this on to my brother in law who IS starting a business this year. Thanks for sharing!
