Tuck your ego, aside, guys. Success doesn’t mean being first – it means being better and being relevant.
Skipping the “slow and steady wins the race” lecture, it’s important for startups today to remember that a successful entrepreneur is one if sees a need and fills it.

Yesterday, on a call with a prominent Silicon Valley investor I was reminded about the importance of doing things better, rather than doing things first. “I invest in companies who’ve done the due diligence to find a growing market and offer them a better solution than they currently have by identifying gaps in competitors’ offerings then rolling up their sleeves to become the King of that space.”

It reminds me of one of Neil Patel’s blog posts: How to Become a Better Entrepreneur in the Next 30 Minutes. Point #2 is Stop Innovating, Start Copying.
