While the art is elegant and clear in it simplicity, it is able to evoke, and in some ways convey more than a highly detailed style might have. The whole 'less is more' approach. The writi" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Sean Wise  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There’s a real lesson in the observation that most VC funds have a hit ratio of only 1-in-10 investees becoming successful. But most VC investors are unable to learn from it because they are caught in their own over-confidence.”
Sean Wise, HOT or NOT: How to know if your Business Idea will Fly or Fail

“The faster you act, the more stable your company becomes and the higher your chances of success. Perfectionists make lousy entrepreneurs.”
Sean Wise, HOT or NOT: How to know if your Business Idea will Fly or Fail

“Before 2000, proof of concept was often defined as: I turn on the light, and the light goes on, thus the technology worked. Today, proof of concept has evolved, and many Angels (and Dragons) want to ensure not only that the light goes on but also that someone will pay to read under the light.”

“A person must conquer their own self. What we think, we become. And as we change our behavior, so do our thoughts change.”
Andrew McGlinchey, Cloudthinker

“to do anything really well, you have to overextend yourself,”
Angela Duckworth, Grit

“If you’re a business, you don’t care whether a kid thinks they’re special. What you care about is ‘Can you deliver? If you can’t deliver, hey, we don’t have any use for you.”
Angela Duckworth, Grit
