Don't mistake assertiveness for aggression.
Being assertive is advocating for your interests. Being aggressive is attacking other people's interests.
Standing up for your ideals doesn't make you pushy—it stops you from being a pushover. It's not selfish—it's self-preservation.

Startup Guidance
2010s:
• Work 120 hours a week
• Ignore profitability
• Grow at all costs
• Bay Area or bust
• Hustle or die trying
2020s:
• Work however much feels right
• Focus on revenue
• Build a sustainable company
• Hire remote teams
• Take care of yourself
Your startup probably won’t work.
Pick a problem you’d be proud to tell friends about 10 years from now, even if it fails.
The worst failure happens when founders spend years grinding on a problem they don’t care about & finally admit this to themselves when things fall apart.
What does delighting your customers look like in your context? What will you see? Hear? Will your customers grab you buy the shirt and say ‘take my money now!’? Write this down so everyone knows when you see it! @arachleff@ericries#leanstartup#innovation
We found that our customers wanted us to manage all of their money well, rather than some of their money very well. It was a big surprise because what they wanted was much easier for us to achieve! @arachleff#leanstartup#pivot
