Today on Twitter I was led to a post by Mike Hudack (CEO of blip.tv) and found a diagram called “Am I fit for startups”.
Big part of the reason I chose to write this post is because we have too many people thinking they’re entrepreneurs. They see an over-glorified simplification of what it takes to succeed and jump in lacking a full understanding. Too many naïve (often young and inexperienced) folks get into entrepreneurship and cost vendors, creditors, investors, and themselves money and real resources.
Best practices in lean business operations, technology, and other areas pertinent to success of startups, small, and mid-market businesses.
