Hugh MacLeod posted a list of twenty-six observations on entrepreneurship that he has made over the last couple of years. Being as Hugh is what I would consider a non-average entrepreneur (is there and average entrepreneur out there anyway?), I found the list quite interesting. Here are a couple of my favorites from the list. See the whole thing here.

5. In a world of over-supply and commodification, you are no longer paid to supply. You’re being paid to deliver something else. What that is exactly, is not always obvious.

6. Word of mouth is the best advertising medium of all. The best word of mouth comes from disrupting markets.

10. It’s better to be underfunded than overfunded.

13. If you’re happy in your career before the age of thirty, you’re probably doing something wrong. Heck, if you’re happy in your career before the age of seventy, you’re probably doing something wrong.

25. Bill Gates may have a million times more money than me, but he isn’t going to live a million times longer than me, watch a million times more sunsets than me, make love to a million times more women than me, drink a million times more fine wines than me, listen to a million times more Beethoven String Quartets than me, nor sire a million times more children than me. Human beings don't scale.

Great stuff. As always, Hugh is telling it like he sees it…and I’m digging what he sees.
