Mark Suster, serial entrepreneur turned VC, has one of my favorite blogs over at BothSidesOfTheTable.com where he talks about his experiences and shares insightful anecdotes. One aspect of the blog that is dissimilar from most startup blogs is that he provides much more tough love for entrepreneurs. What I mean by tough love is that many bloggers talk about how great entrepreneurship is, how people should try it, and frankly, all around glamorize it. Mark sets the record straight and offers some great color commentary. Let’s look at some tough love now:
- If you are trying to raise money, and haven’t quit your day job, you’re not confident enough in your own skills.
- A real entrepreneur would find a way to get a prototype built with no money. If you just keep talking about the idea, you don’t have what it takes.
- Most people should make sure they’ve done their learning before stepping out to do their earning.
I recommend you head on over and read Mark Suster’s blog.
