The document summarizes 10 common temptations that tech CEOs face, including unrealistic predictions, not properly establishing a business form, choosing inappropriate investors, failing to document important relationships in writing, neglecting intellectual property protection, unwillingness to delegate responsibilities, having an inattentive board, disregarding advisors, having an inflated ego, and failing to learn from past mistakes. The document cautions against giving in to these temptations and provides lessons for avoiding common pitfalls.
