The Hard Thing About Hard Things

Until reading Ben Horowitz's book, ‘The Hard Thing About Hard Things,' I knew that he's a successful VC but didn't realize that what made him such was his previous career as a Co-founder and CEO, who struggled hard before his company acquired.

This book is teaching a lot about leadership and taking care of your people.

“Spend zero time on what you could have done and devote all of your time on what you might do. Because in the end, nobody cares; just run your company” (p. 92)

“There are always a thousand things that can go wrong and sink the ship. If you focus too much on them, you will drive yourself nuts and likely crash your company. Focus on where you are going rather than on what you hope to avoid” (p. 207)
