The Hard Thing About Hard Things

Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers

Ben Horowitz

The decisions with no good option: layoffs, demotions, the quarter that nearly ends you. The rare business book honest enough to admit that most of the job is holding your nerve while everyone watches.

Lines worth keeping

  1. There are no silver bullets for this, only lead bullets.
    Ben Horowitz The Hard Thing About Hard Things
  2. The hard thing isn't setting a big, hairy, audacious goal. The hard thing is laying people off when you miss the big goal.
    Ben Horowitz The Hard Thing About Hard Things
  3. Take care of the people, the products, and the profits — in that order.
