I think like focus is one of the most important things because like as a start-up, it's actually I think your most powerful weapon. Right? Like the reason that you're able to take on like these big companies or areas is because they're doing a thousand different things. Right? And so the only way you can win is if you take everything you have and you focus it at one point. Right? Because you are underpowered in every way versus these other companies.

So the one thing you do have that they don't have is you can be like absolutely 100% focused on the thing that you're doing. And that was like, you know, with Google, that was part of the reason that we won at search was I was all we were focused on like early on. Right? And you became the best in the world at it. Like, thank you versus like everyone else's ago we want to be a portal.

Right? We need all this other. So like that, that's really key. Frugality I think is also really essential. I think like one of the best indicators of if you're doing it right is essentially your input to output ratio. So you want to do more with less. Unfortunately, most startups do less with more.

So like you give them money and they just burn it up and there's like no results. So like being able to produce a lot of outputs with a minimum amount looks like amplify time and money. Right? You.
