Guy Kawasaki is a Wise Man
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Business
It may sound obvious, but he truly is. I was reading this response he made to a post that criticised his newest product, truemors, and the last paragraph really struck me:
Here’s what I truly don’t understand. Sure, shoot me and Truemors down. It’s okay. I’m a big boy and a juicy target. Such is life. But if I were an entrepreneur, I would be thinking: “Life is good. Guy has shown that with $12,000 and seven weeks of work you can launch a company today. Open source has changed the world. Now I don’t need to spend 6-9 months sucking up to clueless VCs in between their golf games and trips to the south of France and 6-9 months duking it out with a compiler. By tapping the blogosphere I can get PR without spending $10,000/month on a PR firm and $40,000 at Demo. I can come up with an idea, launch it, and see if it works.”
Boy, is he right.
