Success is never guaranteed. It'll always be hard. No matter what you do -- follow Getting Real or get $10M in VC -- you'll probably fail. That's a truth of statistics.

- davidw 18y agoIf you liked 'Getting Real', you might also like 'Growing a Business': http://www.squeezedbooks.com/book/show/4/growing-a-business http://www.squeezedbooks.com/book/show/4/growing-a-business He said many of the same things 20 years before 'Getting Real', and as an added bonus, you get a real paper book for nearly half of what Getting Real cost you. Ask tptacek, he seems to have enjoyed the book:-)
