Our manifesto is our guidebook to reference both internally and externally. We use this guide to help us make both trivial and difficult decisions. A few of these items below are inspired by other companies we believe in. This list is a living document and will evolve as our company matures.

Colorful Dots Company Manifesto

Be the student and the teacher.

Avoid becoming an expert. Keep learning.

Fail quickly and often.

Friendship is more important than money.

Do something uncomfortable.

If you don’t like something, change it.

Challenge everything.

Don’t be cool.

If you don’t like your job, quit.

If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.

If you don’t have enough time, get a better watch.

After the rain the sun will shine.

Users are first. Always.

Work from anywhere. Just get the work done.

Google it before asking for help.

On any given task hire yourself before hiring someone else.

Evil is…Evil.

Done is better than perfect.

Fast is better than slow.

Trust your gut.

Demand Equality.

Honor our differences.

You can be serious without a suit.

Sleep on difficult decisions.

Great just isn’t good enough.

Great things take time.

Don’t give in or up. But do give in other ways.

Work on your own time schedule.

Go for a walk when you’re stuck on something.

Set your own goals.

Take time off.

Believe that nice people finish first.

Don’t be a hero.

Be accountable.

Grow a plant.
