Some of us are simply born with the entrepreneurial mindset. There is nothing more appealing than having the ability to go out into the world, make our mark, and support ourselves while we’re doing it. It takes a certain kind of person to withstand all the pressures of self-employment, but the rewards are virtually unlimited. Unfortunately, most people are a force to give up before they start.

Most VCs will say that to evaluate deals they look at the market size, the product and the quality of the team. Different investors place different weights on the three elements but as a rule earlier stage investors place more emphasis on the team and later stage investors place more emphasis on the market. That’s because early stage companies find it easier to change their market than their team whilst later stage companies find it easier to change their team than their market.

If you’re looking for an easy way to propel your business forward, then Kickstarter isn’t the platform for you. While you may have heard the maxim “the best things in life are free,” you probably also know that few things in life are truly free. This is especially true when it comes to your business or career success. So, if you want to take advantage of Kickstarter to fund your brilliant idea, you’re going to have to work pretty hard at it.

Much of product discovery work doesn't actually require a lot of planning. We need to come up with a solution to a particular problem, and often this is straight forward, and we can proceed quickly to delivery work. But for certain efforts, this is decidedly not the case, and some planning and true problem solving becomes critically important. Big projects and especially initiatives (projects spanning multiple teams) are common examples.

Splitty was one of my favorite startups of the program. I was honored to be chosen as a mentor for the inaugural Atlanta Techstars program, something that I was extremely proud of our city for pulling off. By all accounts (IMHO), the fact that Techstars came to Atlanta showed that we are a player in the startup space. You can read more about how Techstars operates here , and it culminates in what they call Demo Day.

Share. This motivational video is focusing on the power of words and what they play in our lives. I recently went to a Mindset Retreat and had an unexpected lesson from my new mentor that told me the power of words. I thought it was only right to share this lesson because I now know how important what you say, speak and write are to our reality. Especially for entrepreneurs and business owners, doing things like writing down your goals and writing down what will have happen have incredible power

Image Source: Edward Musiak. Marketing can be expensive and often, unpredictable. The most successful marketers and teams set clear, crisp goals , develop smart strategies , and experiment with different tactics. But even then, many campaigns fail to return the money marketers invest on marketing efforts. I’ve previously written about lean marketing – testing your ideas in small batches, listening to feedback, tweaking campaigns, and re-testing.
