When You Turn Your Team Upside Down

My First Company Was Microsolutions. I Worked 20 Hours A Day. I Didn't Take A Vacation For 7 Years. I Didn't Even Take The Time To Read A Fiction Book. It Was All About Work. When I Sold It, I Promised Myself I Would Never Wear A Watch And Only Wear A Suit To Weddings, Funerals And To Meet The President.

Those Back-to-back Experiences Confirmed What I Already Knew: That I Was A Shitty-ass Employee And I'd Better Start My Own Business.

If You Are Active Online Or Texting, There Is A Good Chance I Could Look At What You Do And Know More About You Than Your Family.

Having The Ability To Be Brutally Honest With Yourself Is The Greatest Challenge You Face When Creating A Business Model. Too Often We Oversell Ourselves On The Quality Of The Idea, Service, Or Product. We Don't Provide An Honest Assessment Of How We Fit In The Market, Why Customers Will Buy From Us, And At What Price.

Every Now And Then I Love To Invest In A Company That May Not Set The World On Fire, But Has The Chance To Establish Itself, Create Jobs And Have A Positive Impact.
