My Lessons Learned:1) Start something with your own skillsets, or else you're going to be stuck relying on others and it's going to be much more expensive.2) Learn the Lean Startup method, and actually follow it instead of coming up with excuses for why you can't.3) Build something you're truly passionate about. It makes it a lot easier (and fun!).4) Revenue growth solves most business problems.
