"We see founders who are talented, but are sticking with an idea that's not quite right, or not that good. And it's because there's something in their gut they know is amazing." @markpinc with some tough love for founders, and how his early failures led to his success at Zynga: "And that was me. I created one of the first three social networks, tribe dot net. And there were probably 10 launched in that 2-3 year period, including Facebook and MySpace. Eight of the 10 probably made it — were successful on some level. I was among the two that weren't." "It took an act of willpower to fail. And I had that much will. I was so determined to stick with this one losing idea, that by the time I got to Zynga, I was just not going to do that again." "And I still need to hear that message today. Because we fall in love with our ideas."
