More quotes by Eric Ries
The only person who can put you out of business, in the early days, is yourself.
Eric Ries
Reading is good, action is better.
Eric Ries
Don’t be in a rush to get big. Be in a rush to have a great product.
Eric Ries
Leadership requires creating conditions that enable employees to do the kinds of experimentation that entrepreneurship requires.
Eric Ries
The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else.
Eric Ries
It doesn't matter if you call it a boom or a bubble. The startup business moves in cycles, and what goes up will eventually come down.
Eric Ries
If you cannot fail, you cannot learn.
Eric Ries
Most companies are busy making their products worse, not better. Updating is almost always a disaster.
Eric Ries
The mistake isn't releasing something bad. The mistake is to launch it and get PR people involved. You don't want people to start amping up expectations for an early version of your product. The best entrepreneurship happens in low-stakes environments where no one is paying attention, like Mark Zuckerberg's dorm room at Harvard.
Eric Ries
Every startup has a chance to change the world, by bringing not just a new product, but an entirely new institution into existence.
Eric Ries

All innovation begins with vision. It’s what happens next that is critical.
Eric Ries
Start-up success is not a consequence of good genes or being in the right place at the right time. Success can be engineered by following the right process, which means it can be learned, which means it can be taught.
Eric Ries
What differentiates the success stories from the failures is that the successful entrepreneurs had the foresight, the ability, and the tools to discover which parts of their plans were working brilliantly and which were misguided, and adapt their strategies accordingly.
Eric Ries
Learning to see waste and systematically eliminate it has allowed lean companies such as Toyota to dominate entire industries. Lean thinking defines value as 'providing benefit to the customer' anything else is waste.
Eric Ries
Entrepreneurs always pitch their idea as 'the X of Y,' so this is going to be 'the Microsoft of food.' And yet disruptive innovations usually don't have that character. Most of the time, if something seems like a good idea, it probably isn't.
Eric Ries
When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created Apple computer in a garage in Palo Alto, it heralded the beginning of the PC revolution that ultimately dealt a death-blow to dozens of older companies.
Eric Ries
Innovation is a bottoms-up, decentralized, and unpredictable thing, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be managed.
Eric Ries
We must learn what customers really want, not what they say they want or what we think they should want.
Eric Ries
If you don't know who your customer is, you don't know what quality is.
