Excellence.

“Excellence can be obtained if you:
...care more than others think is wise;
...risk more than others think is safe;
...dream more than others think is practical;
...expect more than others think is possible.”

“Excellence is in the details. Give attention to the details and excellence will come.” -Perry Paxton

All You Need Is a Little Cash

It was not lost on me that Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook on a random night in his dorm room and the first chunk of cash was a couple thousand dollars from a friend.
That the thing that pushed it over the hurdle was about $18,000 - which they didn't even use in one fell swoop (as evidenced by the fact that his friend later froze the account.)

All you need is a little cash and - literally I mean a little cash - to get something big started.

And the other moral of the story?
You have to be first.
