As an ardent Twitter user, I enjoy reading tweets about startups, tech developments, software engineering, and business…I realized that startups oftentimes involves the latter, and being a solution enthusiast, it is my innate passion to own a solution driven service based startup.

During my active hours on twitter, I always try to bookmark tweets made by active startup CEOs, business entrepreneurs, and tech bros like Jim Morrison, Alex Lieberman, Andrew Gazdecki who oftentimes post status on how to create a startup, the challenges of owning a startup, the business process, the pros and cons etc., and I thought, why not share a few of my favorite tweets to my awesome readers.

Here are my top 10 tweets about startups:

  1. Learn sales and marketing before launching your startup. You’ll save yourself from so much pain. — Andrew Gazdecki
  2. Entrepreneurship is equally as stressful as it is rewarding. Give yourself permission to disconnect. — Jeremy Moser

3. Common misconception: joining a startup = fewer mentors & less exposure to executives. In reality, the entire ecosystem opens up to you — investors, peers at other companies + execs at later stage startups want to help It’s building together vs. learning by sitting in meetings — Bri Kimmel

4. When your company is growing quickly, expect everything to break down every 6–9 months. This isn’t really avoidable, but move quickly to fix it. — Jesse Pujji

5. If you’re a solo founder the good news is that you don’t need to beat your competitors to succeed but just capture a really small slice of the market. — Andrea Bosoni

6. If you’re building a startup make it fun, enjoy the ride, laugh with your peers, say thank you, show appreciation. Healthy company culture is everything. — Andrew Gazdecki

7. A startup lesson I have had to learn over and over again: Your problems are never one hire or one funding round away from being solved — The best that a new hire or new round can do is amplify solutions that are already in place. — James Beshara

8. Most successful companies shouldn’t go public (despite the incentives of Venture Capitalists). — Naval

9. “Hire better. Who you hire will decide the fate of your startup.” Everyone gets it. No one follows it. — Mark Rooo

10. Learn to pitch even if you don’t run a startup. Everything in life is selling, you just don’t realise it yet. — RG Lesley
