“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” — Niccolo Machiavelli
Remember why you’re a founder. It isn’t because it’s easy. You’re trying to do something new. Uncertainty is your certainty.

Nice quote!
You may want to read some more info on Machiavel (as this post just lead me to; Wikipedia).
His political philosophy seems of great help for business management!
