Re:VC Trending: Ditch Your Business Plan on Wednesday June 27, 2007 @05:42AM (#31070)
I'll go with the basic thesis. Long before the internet boom (yes I'm over 50) I was scratching ideas out on the back of an envelope and developing new businesses. Of course ideas are a dime a dozen. What counts is the ability and the tenacity to grow the business and see it through. Most savvy investors understand this, even the VCs that demand detailed business plans.
Right on Aaron! Too many of us get buried in work resulting in lower productivity even as we think that we are keeping on top. I'm a big fan on the 'one day off a week' rule. No matter what, take that day off. Turn the cel off. Go to the beach. Make love with your significant other, or whatever else takes you out of yourself. After all the ultimate goal of business success is enhancing our quality of life . . . isn't it?
