Pitfalls of Guaranteed Success

Came across this today via Twitter. The authour has captured with better than anyone I know, including my alter ego.  

If you think success is guaranteed you will…

  1. Worry about Server Scaling instead of good UI.
  2. Hire people you don’t need instead of hiring the right people.
  3. Add features you don’t need instead of trimming the cruft.
  4. Your overall attitude changes and you…
    1. start believing you have all the answers.
    2. stop listening to users.
  5. You worry about what people will say instead of going with your gut.
  6. You opt for vanilla solutions instead of being bold.
  7. You turn into an asshole (might have already happened).
