The espresso dilemma

I subscribe to the blog of a few successful entrepreneurs. In the last week I read the tips for startups from 2 different ones, both very credible.

• One said: “get an espresso machine (and a Wii)” explaining how the company would save money because people will spend less time outside
• The other said “don’t buy an espresso machine” because people in a startup should have passion and people with passion work hard anyway.

As an entrepreneur and an extravert, I often seek other people’s feedback. On subjects much more important that the espresso machine, I usually get intelligent and contradictory advice. In the end I can only look for trends (if everyone tells me the same thing), keep common sense in mind and trust my judgment/intuition.
