Patrick “Fitzblog” Fitzsimmons has been reading Inside Intuit and has come up with Seven Startup Lessons from Intuit (which could be applied to any business, not just startups):
- Business skills and technical skills are equally important.
- Learn from non-technology businesses.
- Your competitor is not other companies, but the way that things are done now.
- Talk to as many potential customers as you can, from the very beginning.
- Focus your product on the absolute essential user needs.
- Even future billion dollar companies will teeter on the brink of defeat.
- Do right by your customers.
The article has this list, with each point explained in more detail.
