I'm not normally one for these kind of lists but there is some real good advice in here.
For the HN startup community I would draw attention to:
39. Nothing produces results as much as taking action.
37. People do business with people they know and like.
25. You are a "brand". No matter what you do it effects your reputation.
19. If you are not knowledgeable about wine...Don't fake it.
16. Find a mentor.
15. Be a mentor.
18. Be-friend your competitors.
13. You do not have to be smart to be successful. Tenacity trumps intelligence.
10. Writing a book is hard work. Promoting a book is harder work.
and encourage you to read them as business (as well as personal) advice: read You as 'Your company', 'Wine' as 'any technical subject', 'book' as 'App/Product'.
