VCs and PEs have more capital than they are capable of managing well. Valuations are always astronomical for other companies (i.e., not yours). Angel capital usually comes from people who have too much time on their hands and like to put their noses in places in which they have no expertise.

In building successful businesses, I find that creating a new and innovative product or service is usually the easy part.

by Clate Mask, CEO of Infusionsoft. So you started a company, but does that make you a marketing expert? Probably not. If you’re like many small businesses, you have a love-hate relationship with marketing.

According to the Global Entrepreneurship report, only 20% of startups make it past their first year of operation. Surprisingly, half of those businesses never exist in the next 5 years.

I think its because I was given one as a gift, and I enjoyed the fact that it sat there looking at me until I finally picked it up and read it.
