What is amazing is how much of those timeless insights is still relevant 6 years from its writing, or even 6 years from now into the future.

What is more amazing is even someone who possesses so much insights, has sufficient financial ammunition and more than enough connection and reputation couldn't make alltop.com a big success.

This is from 2006, but a lot of it is valid today. Can we officially say now that the average duration of startup cycle is about six years?

Any management consultant who thinks that "implementation is easy" is a really poor management consultant.
