What? Yer joking right? C'mon I've been putting my biz plan under my pillow every night waiting for the fairy!

Ok not really, I enjoyed the post, I think all of us start-up junkies have fallen into this trap a few times. My recommendation? Be ruthlessly hard on yourself and your product, if you can find flaws, users and money folks will too.


So true. I spent years reading about entrepreneurship and organizing conferences about entrepreneurship, and that was all just missing the point.

Just create something and put it out in the world -- everything else is secondary.
