Smaller city in the Southeast, but I explain it to entrepreneurs I consult with as "Assume no one is going to give you any funding and tell me what your development plan looks like." Most people are dead in the water right there and someone needs to be honest and tell them to move, find another idea or find different people to collaborate with.
Speaking truth to entrepreneurs is not a welcome activity when entrepreneurialism becomes more of a religion than an economic alternative to employment.
- danschumann 9y agoYea I agree with most of that, except instead of religion, I say lottery. They don't take the path of work, they take the path of entering a lottery, whereby they think a VC will make their dreams come true. If you assume no1 is coming to help, you take the path of work. ( which is what career, entrepreneurship, and business is all about anyway ) Business -> Busy-ness -- I set up my business as a work that keeps my busy, thereby no one can stop me from being busy.
