5. Ten Modest Proposals
16. Entrepreneurship and startups are not one
and the same. Many startups are not
entrepreneurial and much entrepreneurship is
not about startups.
Scaling up is vastly harder than starting
up. It typically takes a decade or longer, not
months or a couple years, to build a venture
of value, with any semblance of robustness
and return. The few that pop through in a
few years are by far the aberration.
22. 1. Spread mindset, not just footprint.
2. Engaging all the senses. (Personally, I want every lobby to smell like coffee or popcorn.)
3. Link short-term realities to long-term dreams.
4. Accelerate accountability.
5. Fearing the clusterfug.
6. Scaling requires both addition and subtraction.
7. Slow down to scale faster - and better - down the road.

national system must
make every effort to have
one Irish university
amongst the top 10 in the
world”

a speech impediment to a man who co-founds
two billion-dollar companies
