Three areas which every start-up should focus their attention on

In short, the article says do these 3 things or fail...<p>1. have fun 2. differentiate from competition 3. nurture employees<p>The title of the article is over dramatic. There are lots of examples of businesses that don&#x27;t do any of the above and yet they still turn a profit. Even then, you can do all 3 and still fail.<p>Solid advice nonetheless, just have to take it with a grain of salt.

Three things your start up is probably already doing, plus some pictures and stories that make Richard Bronson seem like some kind of visionary.

Pretty smart, and should be common sense. Retain your customers and talent by building strong and meaningful relationships with both. It&#x27;s telling that this sort of shit is now practically rocket science for people who think they&#x27;ve found some new way to build businesses that work (using disruptive big data bump apps in the cloud or some horseshit).

I&#x27;d re-write these slightly:<p>1. Know your users. If you understand what they want, you can provide value or fun, and they&#x27;ll both be well-recieved.<p>2. Know the problem you&#x27;re solving. Starbucks was solving the problem of creating a &quot;3rd space&quot;, and they monetized with coffee.<p>3. Nurture employees, I&#x27;d keep the same.

&quot;Here&#x27;s a record store... with a lounge.&quot; - success<p>&quot;Here&#x27;s an airline... with a lounge.&quot; - success<p>&quot;Here&#x27;s a bank... wait for it...... with a lounge.&quot; - success

We had a billionaire in India who followed his foot steps now he is pauper. His airline went bust and he had sell his beer factory.

One question for HN moderators: Is <i>flag</i> the same as <i>downvote</i>?<p>For example, I think this is useless PR stuff, not interesting in any manner. So should I flag it like I would downvote a comment?<p>Or flag is mostly for more harmful things suchs as spammy or innacurate posts; and I should just hope less people upvote it and its buried?

Area number one: not ending headlines with prepositions.
