WhyGoSolo Coming Offline
(I wrote the first part of this post 4 weeks ago)
In the next couple of weeks, WhyGoSolo (and Tickets with a Twist) will both come offline. I’m not entirely sure when the end came…however, I do know it was before now; it just took me this long to admit it and come to terms with [...]
First Dress – House of Blues
My neighbor Wendy asked me about mid-week if I wanted to go to a concert at the House of Blues on Saturday night. I hadn’t heard of the guy she wanted to see (Matt Nathanson) but agreed to go. I had not been to the House of Blues yet, so I figured it was a [...]
A Chicken Who Couldn’t Lay an Egg
I had an idea yesterday!! A new innovative, creative and pack full of potential idea – it feels so GOOD. And by idea I mean something that is exciting, energizing, and motivating me. Something that ties-in some of my interests and for the first time, it’s a non-profit, social good type of idea. It’s a [...]
Dumping Social Media to get back to Business and Tech
Alright, so the word dumping is a bit harsh…but a catchy title is good for readership!! (The picture is me and my sense of humor)
In August of 2007, I wrote a blog post called “Who is Your Front Man”. At the time I wrote the post, I was getting really involved in the [...]
Getting Back Into My Entrepreneurial Endeavors
I’ve been somewhat “off” and offline recharging my batteries for the last 6-8 weeks…that, and moving to New Orleans. It’s been a good break that frankly after what I went through the past three years was much needed.
WhyGoSolo turned 1 on January 5th, 2009. It’s a hard pill to swallow to know the site has [...]
What I Won’t Be Telling My Dad
I suppose he might find out because he used to read the WhyGoSolo blog…I’m not sure if he has found this blog or not.
At any rate, what I won’t be telling my dad or what I’m in no rush to tell him, is that on November 1st , I will no longer have a “secure” [...]
Help me Solve The Chicken and Egg Game
The Chicken and Egg Game is one of the most excruciating games that startup entrepreneurs have to play.
Here’s how you play it: In order to achieve A you need B but in order to get B you first need A. So what comes first, A or B? The chicken or the egg?
It’s a very common [...]
Ready to Hire a Coach
I’m on the search for a good coach. I’m looking for a coach who specializes in working with entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs…not looking for a small business coach.
The last few weeks I’ve noticed just how extremely lonely I’ve been. Not the “I need a boyfriend” lonely. But rather, lonely in the sense that there is no one [...]
Entrepreneurial Success Resides in your People
What a difference a year makes! Yesterday I was reading my journal and recollecting what was happening in my life a year ago. The biggest thing that was happening was my quest to raise money.
Oddly enough – that’s rapidly becoming my biggest quest again. I was working on the new investor deck yesterday and [...]
Processing Of Information: The Entrepreneurial Filter
I unfortunately don’t have a great deal of time to read a lot of…anything. But, I still scan headlines, read a few blogs, and magazines. I also listen to NPR on WAMU on my commute back and forth to work.
Everything I read and everything I listen to is processed through my entrepreneurial filter. The [...]
