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

You may already be familiar with Simon Sinek’s perspective on the fundamental reason why some companies succeed and some companies fail. If you are not, you’re missing an important business thought and I’m here to help…here is a link to … Continue reading

Venture Tips Update….Make Your Business About Your Customers, Not Your Technology
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
Every Business is an “L” Business
Ah, the “L” word. No, not “love”. The other “L” word. You know the one…the one that puts startup founders into an internal rage. The one that signals to the founder that the person using the word finds their business … Continue reading →
