56. "(My) advice is to focus on one thing. I see a lot of
entrepreneurs build something and then move
onto the next thing and the next thing and the
next. Building something is only step one. It’s not
that hard to put something out there. Building on
top of that to maintain and improve it is actually
the harder thing to do. Anyone can release
something, but it’s much harder to polish and
refine it over time once it’s out there."
Jason Fried, Founder of 37 Signals
