“Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is how much you spend to convince someone to buy your product once. This is where the fantasy of “viral growth” meets reality. You might have a brilliant product, but if you’re spending $500 to get someone to pay $50, congratulations: you’re running a charity, not a business.”

“Humility is the flipside of pride. It doesn’t mean suddenly being selfless; it means realizing that others might have a better answer than you or a better solution. It means accepting you might not always be the smartest person in the room. Being confident and humble are not mutually exclusive. Embracing humility will help give you an open mind and a clearer vision of how to beat the odds and make your start-up a success.”
