What’s my take? I’ve had some experiences, in both my time as an angel and as a VC, where I do believe the CEO ‘quit’ – which I’ll define as gave up too early primarily because of their own lack of fight or incentive.

Don’t Forget the “Relations” in “Public Relations” (or PR)! When you appear in the media that your target market pays attention to, you receive third-party credibility you can’t get in any other way. This is because it’s not advertising or a paid placement; it’s what public relations, or PR, is all about. You may already know this. Perhaps you tried sending out a press release… and nothing happened, so you gave up on PR.

Money in the bank is like oil in the car. Certainly, you have many ways you are pulled every day, both tactical and strategic. But when money is the issue, your time, energy and focus are drained from other important areas of your life or business. Running out of money is not always synonymous with going broke.
