Great job guys. The Survey looks good!


It is surprising how much of your network you can tap into for hiring, when you simply go through all your Facebook or LinkedIn connections.


An import concept shared by Aaron: "Sell ideas, not stuff!" I think this is profound. Most often companies forget about selling the vision and get caught up in the details.


I recently read a book called The Challenger Sale with this idea.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Challenger-Sale-Customer-Conversat...

It expands on this idea, and says that one successful sales process actually leads with ideas on how to make your business run better, then follows it up with all the information necessary to implement that change. If you do it right, the end of the sales process will be the customer asking you for suggestions on how to do what you suggested, and the only answer is your product.

It strikes me as a wonderfully powerful idea. I definitely recommend the book.



She thought it was funny!


The title is directly copied from the Pando article.

An entrepreneur's life is an emotional roller coaster. It is soo important to maintain perspective.


Wish I knew this when I was fundraising for my startup.


Precisely.
