Great Advice For Entrepreneurial Businesses
I spend a lot of time working with dealers, brokers, VARs and other independent channel partners. What strikes me is how entrepreneurial these businesses are...typically running far more efficiently than most direct sales organizations for large corporations.
As a result, Guy Kawasaki's blog posting titled, "Founders at Work" in which he relayed some interesting anecdotes from the book Founders at Work: Stories of Startups Early Days" was both amusing and engaging. As with many of Guy's postings, there was a great takeaway line:
"Entrepreneurship is all about tactics, hootspah, not knowing that things are not done "this way," and making do with not enough money."
It is a plight that many small companies can understand...twisting the old adage..'adversity is the mother of innovation." But, what distinguishes the truly successful entrepreneurs is also the ability to think big, stay focused as distractions emerge, and to never stop believing in their own vision and skill.
Kawasaki is a source of great advice for entrepreneurs and his blog is must-bookmark destination.
