Bill Nguyen: The Boy In The Bubble

I used to work with Bill at Seven, and this article captures his personality pretty well.

His biggest strength is he's an unbelievable salesman. He can talk pixie dust and make you want to sign on to his vision.

I believe the ability to sell your vision is the most important skill for an entrepreneur (which is too bad for me, cause I'm a coder and I suck at this skill).

He should stay in sales then. Without a meaningful vision, all the sales in the world is just bullshit talking.

Depends on your perspective. He sold OneBox for $850 million, so I'm sure he's happy he didn't stay in sales.
