19. Take Everything Given To You And Make Something Better

Society is all about progression, especially in technology and software. The greatest technologies take the fundamentals of what already exists in some form, but improves them with the new pieces that have evolved. As an entrepreneur you will frequently find new tools and innovations brought into the open by other entrepreneurs. Take every single significant thing you can find and install in to your product to make something much better. We literally get nowhere with contentment, but get everywhere with advancement. Don’t change the game, evolve the game.

18. Work Before Glory

The best entrepreneurs are modest and don’t really care about the glory. The most important lesson you can learn is to keep a level head and be humble. Don’t think about the next press article that gets published about your company as in the long run there will be too many of them that it won’t even matter. Your focus should be on the work you do instead of the side benefit of glory. Your work will live on forever, but the glory will fade away when the next acquisition or rumor pops up. Legends are products of their work, NOT their glory.
