If you aren’t willing to take some risk as an entrepreneur, then don’t expect any gain. Yet everyone has limits, and every investor implicitly has similar limits on what makes a startup investable, or one to avoid at all costs. If you need investors, it’s important that you understand their filters, and even if you are funding your own efforts, you need to recognize the red flags.

by Ryan Gerhardy, CEO of Pitchly. I gave a presentation at a legal technology conference last week. Afterward, I met the CIO from one of our law firm clients who was in the audience.

The word workaholic has a positive connotation; someone who is dedicated and always wants to be the best at their work. But the situation can make you go either way. You can be a workaholic who gives priority to only work, without giving importance to other aspects of life. Or, you can be a workaholic who always strives to maintain a work-life balance.

Talk to any B2B marketer about attribution and they’ll either roll their eyes or rant about how it’s important but hard to get right—long lead cycles, multiple contacts from a single organization, etc. Some might stare blankly and ask what you mean. As a group, we’ve gotten a firmer grasp on top-of-the-funnel metrics. We can prove that social media and SEO drive traffic and top-line conversions, but we still struggle to show the bottom-line impact of marketing.

I was really tired this weekend (from the week) and didn’t feel like doing anything other than laying on the couch near Amy and reading. She was also tired, as she spent the week in Wellesley at a board meeting and a bunch of other Wellesley related stuff, so even though the Boulder weather was magnificent, we stayed home other than a quick trip to Boulder to get our eyes checked and have sushi with some friends.

Writing a book is a journey. What’s the expression…it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I think that’s an appropriate metaphor for this process. I used to think that writing a book was 99% writing, and then 1% the details required to sell it. I’m thinking now that the actual writing of the book is probably 40% of the process, and that might be generous.
