    EXCELLENT practical advice on executing plans for building a startup company: How to bring the Ideas, the People and the Plan together. (I think I have the obsessive part down.)

    Some very comprehensive advice on the hows and whys of building a start-up. I've read several of Paul Graham's articles now, and I've enjoyed each of them immensely.

    Unbelievably good advice. We only got one or two things wrong, but they were sufficient to finish us inside 18 months. I think next time I'll be doing it with friends rather than trying to go in with a "business" guy who contributes nothing to the work and leaves me doing 20 hour days.
