Answering Your Questions #9

I don't generally try to look for a business idea; I try to find pain, and I look for pain in myself. I look for what's a problem that I would just like solved?

With feedback, what I've noticed that I've done incorrectly is that I'm not specific ... If I'm giving feedback to someone, be very specific.

I believe if you're the number one customer and you're happy with whatever you can solve, then you're always going to be satisfied whether you make it a big business or not.

I tend to never give feedback or advice unsolicited, and I think it's a really important point. A lot of people are like, 'Hey, I'm going to tell you something.' It's like, fool, I didn't ask for your opinion; shut the hell up.

I think in life, historically, a lot of the times, I thought, alright, if I work really hard, I can coast. And that's just not the case. It should be about sustainability.

If you're asking a lot of people for feedback about the same thing, that means you're just avoiding the problem.
