Eric Ries Quotes

There is no greater country on Earth for entrepreneurship than America. In every category, from the high-tech world of Silicon Valley, where I live, to University R Picture Quote #1

Entrepreneurship is not really building a product, it’s not having an idea, it’s not being in the right place at the right time. It’s fundamentally company building Picture Quote #1

I actually believed if you work hard enough it was inevitable you’d succeed. Then I lived the ‘Social Network’ movie, but only the first half. The hardest part is the grueling work of constantly being wrong Picture Quote #1

The problem with entrepreneurship is we are often working really hard producing high quality products that no-one wants. The creation of stuff is not valued Picture Quote #1

I can’t say I’m not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it’s not true. I’m not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook, but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash Picture Quote #1

Famous pivot stories are often failures but you don’t need to fail before you pivot. All a pivot is is a change is strategy without a change in vision. Whenever entrepreneurs see a new way to achieve their vision - a way to be more successful - they have to remain nimble enough to take it Picture Quote #1

The goal of a startup is to figure out the right thing to build-the thing customers want and will pay for-as quickly as possible. In other words, the Lean Startup is a new way of looking at the development of innovative new products that emphasizes fast iteration and customer insight, a huge vision, and great ambition, all at the same time Picture Quote #1

Here in Silicon Valley, I have taken part in hundreds of conversations trying to convince people to dive in and become entrepreneurs. All too often, innovators with good, safe, jobs are unwilling to put their family’s access to health care at risk by walking away from company-backed medical insurance Picture Quote #1

Customers don’t know what they want. There’s plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future. So asking them, ‘Would you buy my product if it had these three features?’ or ‘How would you react if we changed our product this way?’ is a waste of time. They don’t know Picture Quote #1

I would say, as an entrepreneur everything you do - every action you take in product development, in marketing, every conversation you have, everything you do - is an experiment. If you can conceptualize your work not as building features, not as launching campaigns, but as running experiments, you can get radically more done with less effort Picture Quote #1

Our educational system is not preparing people for the 21st Century. Failure is an essential part of entrepreneurship. If you work hard, you can get an ‘A’ pretty much guaranteed, but in entrepreneurship, that’s not how it works Picture Quote #1

A head start is rarely large enough to matter, and time spent in stealth mode-away from customers-is unlikely to provide a head start. The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else Picture Quote #1

The big question of our time is not Can it be built? but Should it be built? This places us in an unusual historical moment: our future prosperity depends on the quality of our collective imaginations Picture Quote #1

Vanity metrics are the numbers you want to publish on TechCrunch to make your competitors feel bad Picture Quote #1

The Lean Startup has evolved into a movement that is having a significant impact on how companies are built, funded and scaled Picture Quote #1

If you cannot fail, you cannot learn Picture Quote #1

The lesson of the MVP is that any additional work beyond what was required to start learning is waste, no matter how important it might have seemed at the time Picture Quote #1

Zero invites imagination, but small numbers invite questions about whether large numbers will ever materialize Picture Quote #1

The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else Picture Quote #1

All innovation begins with vision. It’s what happens next that is critical Picture Quote #1

If we stopped wasting people’s time, what would they do with it? Picture Quote #1

In a startup, both the problem and solution are unknown Picture Quote #1

Lean thinking defines value as providing benefit to the customer; anything else is waste Picture Quote #1

Better to have bad news that’s true than good news we made up Picture Quote #1

The lean startup method is not about cost, it is about speed Picture Quote #1

A pivot is a change in strategy without a change in vision Picture Quote #1

Reading is good, action is better Picture Quote #1

I believe for the first time in history, entrepreneurship is now a viable career Picture Quote #1

The hardest part is the grueling work of constantly being wrong Picture Quote #1

Most companies are busy making their products worse, not better. Updating is almost always a disaster Picture Quote #1
