Rules I Live By… If a venture capitalist or angel investor wants to give
you money – take it! Never re-hire Send handwritten thank you notes Sign up for Google Alerts Be concise and don’t waste time – you won’t get it
back! Don’t allow your job to define you! Know your long-term goals and make sure what you
are doing today will matter Every time you say yes to something you are saying
no to something else… be careful! Know how to read financials but have a good
accountant Have a lawyer write your contracts Know your value!
