Ben Horowitz wrote
the book The Hard
Thing About the
Hard Things to
teach us the cold
hard truths about
being an
entrepreneur.

3. First, there is
no “secret” to
being a world-
class CEO.
However, you do
need to have the
guts to make
decisions when
there are no
good options
available.

4. Second, you should tell your people the way
it is, especially when times are tough. They
already know, and hiding it only makes it
worse. You’ll also be surprised at the fact
that you don’t have to carry it all on your
shoulders - your people want to help you.

5. Third, you need to
take care of your
people, your
products, and your
profits - in that
order. If you don’t
take care of your
people, your
products will
suffer. And if your
products suffer,
eventually your
profits will too.

6. Fourth, in
entrepreneurship
there are no
rules. Even things
that you believe
are written in
stone can change
in an instant. Get
used to adapting
to change, because
that’s your job as
an entrepreneur.
