Most of what I learned about operating startups I learned from the really tough years at my first company from 2001-2003. That is when no customers wanted to work with Internet startups because we as an industry had burned so many customers. No employees wanted to join startups – they were all looking for stable jobs.

Customers who didn’t receive what was promised will take their business elsewhere, or even worse, take to the Internet to spread the word about their bad experience. These are the people who screw up meetings, upset customers and suppliers, and give your company a bad name because they’re consistently tardy. The chronic latecomer.
