A few of the 154 quotes

Reid Callahan
Reid Callahan is an entrepreneur who has spent more than twenty years starting, buying and running businesses. He owns and operates several companies today, and he has learned most of what he knows the hard way: from slow months, difficult hires, good partners and a few deals he would rather forget.
For years he kept a running file of things successful founders said in interviews and talks, and he went back to it whenever a decision felt heavy. Turning that file into this book, and writing down how each idea applies in practice, proved so useful in his own work that he decided to share it.
