Note: this post is long overdue, and is sort of a warm-up for posts later this month. In fact, this Thursday is the first birthday of AnotherStartup.
A while back I created a series of posts on The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki. Each post below correlates with one of five sections in Guy’s book. I’ve hit a few of the high points, but I recommend you buy the book or check out the video below if these pique your interest.
- Part One – Why you’re starting
- Part Two – Describing what you do
- Part Three – Getting cash and getting going
- Part Four – Connecting with customers and making sales
- Part Five – Do what’s right
Reading and applying Guy’s ideas has been immensely helpful for me, and I still have a lot to learn about the art of starting — especially when it comes to connecting with customers and making sales (part four).
For those who aren’t quite ready to read the entire book, Tomas from The Closet Entrepreneur clued me in to a 40 minute talk on the Art of the Start given by Guy himself. Guy is a great speaker, and the video below is a worthy summary of his book.
