auto-promotion of myself - top ten

If I should believe Mr Le Meur I am doing pretty well in live. In my point of view I score 10 out of ten. Those who disagree can leave a comment.

1- do not wait for a revolutionary idea, the idea of your life will never happen, just focus on a simple exciting empty space you see and execute as fast as possible.

2- share your idea as much as possible, the more you share, the more you get advice and the more you learn. Meet and talk to your competitors.
3- build a community around you through blogging and social software.
4- listen to your community, answer questions and build your product with their feedback, involve bloggers as early as possible and get their feedback, if negative, adapt your product permanently.
5- gather a great team with a very different skill set than yours, look for people who are better than you without being afraid of it.
6- be the first to recognize a problem or a mistake you have made. Never hide it behind the carpet. Address the issue in public, learn and correct it.
7- do not spend time on market research, but launch as early as possible in alpha or beta versions. Keep improving the product in the open.
8- do not focus on a large spreadsheet business plan, you are so sure it is not going to happen anyway
9- do not plan huge marketing, growing with your community loving the product is much more powerful.
10- do not focus on getting rich or selling your company, focus on your users, money is a consequence of success, can't be a goal

4 those still hungry for a visual and volonteering to help me out; I have lost my keys.
