'By Ann Smarty, founder of MyBlogGuest.com. Anyone who runs their own business is putting a lot on their plate. Whether it is a single person start up or a company with other employees, there are endless tasks that need your attention. So many that the 24-hours that are in a day might just not seem to be enough to get it all done. No matter what you do, you are going to run yourself ragged.
Startup Professionals Musings

'Some entrepreneurs forget that they can’t use people the same way they use technology to build a startup. Inventors, for example, are skilled in manipulating technology, but may have little interest or experience engaging people to make an effective team. Unfortunately, startups are not one-man shows, so entrepreneurs need to study leadership as much as they study technology.
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

'by Joseph and JoAnn Callaway, authors of “ Clients First “. We all know terrible service when we experience it. There’s just no denying how bad it feels when your meal is plopped down by an unrepentant server an hour after you ordered… or when a pushy car dealer turns ice cold when he realizes his attempt to upsell you isn’t working… or when a retail store associate blatantly ignores you while sucking up to the (obviously) wealthier customer who breezed in behind you.

'I just received the ultimate compliment. I presented to a group of about one hundred leaders of Mid-cap companies , and one of the attendees came up to me after my speech and asked me if I was a professional actor.

'A few months back, as we were gearing up to launch Uncover , I wrote an article called Startup Launch Checklist. It details what you need to do — or at least what we did — before we were comfortable launching. But now that we''ve gone public, in hindsight we feel that we could have launched even earlier. There''s simply little to no benefit in waiting on minor pretexts, and every day you''re on the market is ten times more informative than days you''re not.

'Pinterest Accidentally Built A Better Search Engine Than Google : Several years ago, and shortly after she joined the service, my wife looked up from her screen with a virtual light bulb above her head and said: Pinterest is my Google. Now, I wouldn’t call Pinterest a general purpose search engine yet, but if we need a recipe or an image or ideas for a project around the house or new product recommendations, our family generally turns to Pinterest.

Nobody's perfect. But the more imperfect you are, the more successful you might be! The first definition of perfect in Merriam-Webster's dictionary is "being entirely without fault or defect: flawless, e.g., a perfect diamond." If that's the case, there are no perfect entrepreneurs�at least none that are successful! Because entrepreneurs are human, have flaws and make mistakes.
