Hate to be negative but reading blogs by accomplished and knowledgeable entrepreneurs does not an MBA make. Please stop devaluing the MBA degree by using it willy-nilly. This would be like linking to authors on arXiv and saying "The Physics PhD."
On the flip side, I think this is a pretty good list though it could use some diversity. One blog I like is http://sivers.org/blog http://sivers.org/blog - Derek is a coder at heart but manages a very popular music storefront ( www.cdbaby.com ). Blogs like his may not tell you how to sell your company but will encourage you to keep going, despite all technical difficulties.
Reading what the VCs say is great, but ONLY reading what VCs say is setting yourself up for failure and narrowing down your perspective.
- nivi 18y agoThere is a lot to be learned from a lot of "MBA" professors including Drucker, Christensen, Pfeffer, Ackoff, and more. And there are a lot of great graduates of MBA programs. But the MBA programs have already de-valued themselves into the garbage can. The burden is on MBA programs to prove that they are valuable as these blogs, not the other way around.
- ojbyrne 18y agoI like venturehacks (actually a lot) but blogs in general have just as much "de-valued themselves into the garbage can." At least when you are in an MBA program you receive information from different disciplines (HR, Strategy, Operations, etc, etc.) With blogs you first have to get past the fact that the top 20 are just one big echo-chamber.
