“The biggest mistake and the biggest error that’s happened in the last ten years is that people started to measure success by venture capital and I think success should be measured by outcome not by raising money.” -David Koretz Ep. 40 #Brainfood bit.ly/BIBP-Ep40-BFPl…

The moment you pull the cork out of a bottle 2 things happen scientifically- sulfur dioxide goes out into the atmosphere and oxygen dissolves into the wine. Once those 2 things happen you can't preserve the wine. ... Muy importante #Science #Wine #Plum

@LeboLion_SA Thank you for sharing this word.

If you do your marketing correctly your brand will eventually carry so much value that it sells you as the founder. You want to build a brand that sells itself, without the need for a founders presence in the process of every sale that is facilitated.

Dear Entrepreneurs & Founders, You don’t need a famous founder, or to become a famous founder to have a successful business or sell a product that becomes a household name.

@johndsaunders An honest word.

Man, LISTEN!! I did it and it sucks, man. It’s exhausting. Focusing on a few core services and going all in was my 🔑.

FOCUS ON YOUR MAIN SERVICE OFFERS. Don't try to be everything to every ONE.
