Takeaways

* If you want to do something really meaningful, it will by definition almost always be hard.

* Chase the things that challenge you – keep going and throwing yourself at things that seem impossible.

* Mistakes are only that if you don’t learn from them, consider them learnings instead.

* There will come a point in your business where you need to shift from “we’re all friends here” to a clear hierarchy with a well-defined structure.

* Equally important to building your business is keeping in touch with people in the field and keeping them informed as to what you’re doing.
