Just over a month ago I started work on Nelotech. Looking back it’s amazing to see just how much I’ve learnt.

1. You need to just get on and build something. It’s easy to have an idea - building a product is the hard part. Just getting started is a big leap and will set you apart from so many others who never even get this far.

2. Don’t spend too much time debating which technologies to use.

3. A startup is not a lifestyle business. You’re not building something designed to give you a regular income. You’re building a company and business that is designed to grow.

4. Be resourceful and take opportunities. Go to events and network. You’ll be surprised by who you meet.

5. There’s nothing wrong with rejection. If you’re getting rejected by different people on a daily basis you’re doing at least one thing right (getting in front of more eyeballs). Focus on those who accept you. They’re the people who really matter.

Alright boys, we are done here today.
