Strategy, Ideas, Fun: Business Luxuries and Fantasy

Source: Guy Kawasaki’s Blog

Here is a great article from The Mercury News on VCs going to start-ups. This quote from the article pretty much sums it all up:

“I think they’re will be a place and time when I’ll be a VC again, and I’ll remember the clueless things I did before,” including asking a struggling entrepreneur to meet him at his expensive hotel during a cross-country trip, rather than drive to the startup.

“You don’t have to be in the trenches with them, but a lot of entrepreneurs resent VCs because they think they’re disconnected from reality. Now, I see why.”

In general, there are so many people that want us to come up with more products, have a website like Nordstroms, or hear their “great new idea” for us. We love to get feedback and their intentions are good. It’s just interesting how most people just can’t imagine all the things one has to deal with when doing a start-up. Strategy, ideas, and fun are luxuries.
