Seth Godin discusses three things needed to be good at starting a business - understanding what consultants and others are saying, being able to present and hire well, and caring about the project. He advises not wasting time getting ready and instead starting with what you have, like a single duck. Every successful business finds a way to be the center of connections in their field rather than just building a better product. He distinguishes between freelancers who do the work and entrepreneurs who build businesses with scale.
