It was a year ago today that I became a blogger. What a year it’s been!! Blogging has been a journey of growth, learning, self-discovery, new friends, communities, and horizons!!
I began to blog with the purpose of capturing the entrepreneurial journey I was undertaking with WhyGoSolo however, what blogging turned into, was my introduction to [...]

The French Man says “PR Secrets?? It’s Bullshit”

I gotta say I completely agree with Loic! I have disagreed with Loic in the past on his post: The idea does not count only execution matters: 10 rules to launch a startup today because I think Loic was overlooking all the work he had done (over many years) in order to be able to [...]

On Episode 5 of Start-up Junkies: Are you Watching it??

The other day Keith sent me an DM on Twitter to let me know I needed to watch Start-up Junkies on Hulu. I watched my first episode on Thursday night…it’s Saturday morning and I’m on Episode 5.
It’s an excellent “show” to watch. Very motivational. The show is about a Seattle based startup called EarthClassMail. The [...]

A Ding Or Two on Our Tech Guy

I think the biggest pitfalls I’ve heard people say of the Tech Guy is that he rarely possesses a vision or the ability to take an idea to market.
I’m not entirely sold that the vision part is unique to the Tech Guys. I’ve met plenty of business people and entrepreneurs who can’t see past their [...]

Two Initial Strikes Against The Biz Dev Guy

A couple of weeks ago I had a ‘SOB moment’. It came the morning after TECH [...]

Foundation: What Makes You Qualified?

Scenario: You are a new entrepreneur and you go in to pitch an investor or a potential client – your pitch goes really well. You hear…
Client/Investor: Hmmm…good stuff. We like it. But who the heck are you? Why should we buy (or invest) in you?
This is the point where you think – I’m the guy [...]

The Doers, The Talkers and Our Bloggers

Yesterday Technosailor wrote a blog post that initiated a great conversation on the District of Corruption show that both Aaron and Geoff Livingston do every Tuesday at 4pm EST.
I won’t lie – I hadn’t read the blog post so I rapidly jumped in because I thought Aaron was saying that CEOs have an obligation to [...]

A Must Read: Inc. Magazine Article

I’ve been spending a lot of time at the DMV these last two days…long story that I won’t bore you with but the upside of sitting with time to kill and an old fashion phone I can’t have any fun with while I’m bored – I actually took the time to read the magazines I [...]
