Both Sides of the Table

NOVEMBER 25, 2010

I relive the moment so many times over in my mind wondering if I could have done this differently or if I shouldn’t have said or done this or that. I believe that it is part of the DNA of an entrepreneur – being so competitive that you’re practically sick when you lose. Entrepreneurs are neurotic about it.

Since releasing my newest book The Entrepreneur’s Weekly Nietzsche: A Book for Disruptors I’ve been continually getting the questions “Why Philosophy and Entrepreneurship?” For entrepreneurs?

This is for the early-stage companies — the entrepreneurs with great ideas and tireless work ethics who feel like they’ve emailed half of the country’s news outlets with nothing but the rare “thanks, but not interested” reply to show for it. The operative word in “news” is “new.” They are not news. The irony hurts.

To be honest I built the class out of frustration watching schools teach aspiring entrepreneurs that all they need to know is how to write a business plan or how to sit in an incubator building a product. Demo Days Versus Lesson Learned Presentations. The results have made the class massively better.

Rick takes him back at the farm, decides to release him, changes his mind, fights Shane, they all almost die, Rick decides to kill Randall after all, changes his mind mid-execution, and Shane ultimately kills Randall and then tries to kill Rick.

The following are some lessons I learned about early-stage startup marketing. Because market is such a broad topic, I’m restricting these lessons to PR marketing (as opposed SEO, SEM, product marketing, etc.). The truth is that we work in a very small, tight-knit industry and news & plans spread fast.

This isn’t new news, but I have some additional lessons to share from that time period. As entrepreneurs, we often put our businesses first, neglecting our own well-being. As entrepreneurs, we often wear multiple hats, but trying to do it all can lead to exhaustion. Once upon a time, I had it all.
