"The Founder needs to STFU: Your customers at the end of the day define your business, because they spend the money that enables you to continue. While you believe you have great thoughts, as a commercial entity you do not have the luxury of such things because the market speaks louder than your own ego." You have someone that understands the market way better than you do, as his extensive track record supports. Who are you to talk to him like this? I mean the insulting part "Shut the fuck up". I admire this person because I have a company and I know how incredibly hard is to do what this man has done, he is talking about the real problems that real companies have. You talk about luxuries as if what this person has was given to him in a silver plate. "Tim never divorced himself from the company and thus made the company suffer for his own personal conceits" When you have a company your company always suffers from your personal conceits, whenever you realize it or not. For example if you made a company your beliefs about "what the market wants" will be as subjective as Tim's, only that probably Tim's will be better adjusted to reality, because he has proven that he is good at it and you don't. Everybody believes to be more objective in his decisions that others, like everybody believes to be more intelligent than everybody else. It is very easy to see the straw in someone else's eye. What is your point? That nobody is perfect?
