3 Value Bombs

1) Whenever you want to make something and turn it into a business, you have to be detailed.

2) Figure out an effective marketing strategy for your project regardless of whether or not you run a successful Kickstarter project.

3) There is nothing more important than having integrity. It is easier to remember the truth than to remember what you made up.
