    BeyondVC: Questions entrepreneurs should ask themselves 

    Ed Sim adds color to a good post by Andy Sacks of Judy’s Book about questions you should ask of your business.

    I think this highlights a broader and more important entrepreneurial concept–turning your brain back on.

    Becoming an entrepreneur requires you to turn your brain back on after quit possibly years of corporate brain drain. You have to open your eyes and see and understand everything that is going on around you. I equate it to the lessons I teach my son about Chess:

    • Control the center
    • Watch the whole board
    • Don’t take everything the competitor gives you
    • Have a plan A, have a plan B, have a plan C, assume you are going to play plan B or C
    • Wreck the competitors plans’, never follow their plan

    Ross Mayfield’s Weblog: Venture Capital Blogs 

    Thank’s Ross Mayfield for giving us an “elevator pitch” size guide to tuning into the venture capital and private equity world.

    I have really found it interesting to survey these blogs to see what is tweaking the VC’s interests. I have also been surprised at how erratic these stars of spotting the next new thing are sometimes way behind and equally time way ahead of a technology or business trend/idea. I guess that is the human side of private equity.
