I'm a little unusual: I'm a six-person-or-less extrovert. Most often I am only interested in an idea if it's going to get hundreds of millions of users. That's the scale that I am always trying to play to. I actually think every individual is now an entrepreneur, whether they recognize it or not. Everything in life has some risk, and what you have to actually learn to do is how to navigate it. Relatively few people should start companies. You have to be constantly reinventing yourself and investing in the future.

Zynga is sloth. LinkedIn is greed. Relatively few people should start companies. I'm a little unusual: I'm a six-person-or-less extrovert.
