Back before we carried the entirety of human knowledge around with us in our pockets, we printed instruction manuals on paper and included them with just about anything more complicated than a spoon. They were important, too. For instance, if I bought a video game with the manual missing, I'd have to learn the ins and outs myself through trial and error (which meant a whole lot of button mashing).

Running a business, like waging a war, goes exactly as planned right until the moment you start. I mean that literally. When I started my first business in my early twenties, for example, I hedged my bets by informing my boss at the time that I’d work part-time for him but do my own thing on my days off and the weekend. That way, I’d enjoy at least one guaranteed source of income as a buffer as I experimented with small business ownership.

My house has a graveyard. It's not in the backyard—it's a drawer in the entertainment center, and it's filled with remote controls. There's one for the sound bar, one for a Blu-ray player (RIP), two for gaming systems I don't use, and one that might control a ceiling fan in someone else's house for all I know.
