If a PowerPoint Sucks…It’s The Messenger, not the Medium
Many have wished for and striven for the death of the powerpoint presentation. I have always disagreed with this point of view. There is no doubt that most power point decks are terrible and yes, should be killed. However, it … Continue reading
Being Small is Not a Strategy for Beating Your Competition
A meaningful percentage of my startup clients have no respect for their competition. Too many first-time founders have bought the story that big existing companies in their space are too slow to be a competitive threat. Or that “existing competitors aren’t as … Continue reading

I originally published the majority of this post back in January, 2012, but I was reminded of the issue again today…twice. So I updated the post on why you should think of your business in their terms. A founder came … Continue reading
Scalawags, Scoundrels, and Other Corporate Partners
If you only quickly scan this post, you may get the impression I’m suggesting that relationships with companies larger than your start-up are not a good idea. If you are getting that impression, please keep reading. For almost all B-to-B … Continue reading
