You’ve probably heard the expression “fail fast” In start-up land, that means it’s better to try 100 things and get 51 right than it is to try three things and get all three right. Startup Land is a place where the purposeful tortoise loses to the savvy hare.
I’m a first time entrepreneur, so I’m especially keen to get the ratio right. Each day, I spend an hour in Google Reader drinking deeply from a carefully curated list of bloggers writing about startups, team-building, financing, law, marketing, branding, technology, and search engine optimization. These leading minds are sharing a lifetime of wisdom with me – for free! – everyday.
Their words have shaped how I approach fundraising, searching for a business model, creating a strong culture, and managing our technology. It’s saved me from a 1,000 mistakes over the past 5 years.
And it can do the same for you.
So my my advice: build your brain feed and drink up. To get started, here’s my list:
- For Entrepreneurial Appetites – follow my favorite 88 blogs
- My Favorite Posts – the best of the best from those 88 blogs
