|From Nothing To Something. How To Get There.
September 21st, 2009
TechCrunch recently published a post by Meebo CEO Seth Sternberg.
The post provides some great advice on starting a starting a new company, which basically boils down to do it … before someone else beats you too it.
Whilst the article makes some great points, I have to keep reminding myself we’re not all in the same position as the author. Just like every great golfer has their own unique swing, as entrepreneurs we have to evaluate our own situation, what worked for someone else might not work for you. Some of the authors points are very much aimed at the consumer space, and just won’t fly in the business arena, where you only get one chance to impress.

Do you want to be an Entrepreneur?
August 10th, 2008
You’re thinking about starting your own business, but are you really sure you want to be an entrepreneur?
The dream sounds good. Start with nothing, and create a business known the world over and retire next year when you’re brought by the large corporation worried about your pesky business, or maybe you’ll have an IPO instead and keep running your business to world domination.
You probably know the the stories of Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs and many others starting with nothing to create successful businesses. Gates & Dell dropping out of school to pursue their dreams, why not you?
Running a company is not for everyone. There I said it. That should not be a surprise, but people often appear offended when I say that, like I’ve stolen their dreams.
