This document discusses when not to do startups. It suggests not pursuing a startup if you want a traditional 9-5 job, are afraid of change, or don't like last minute travel. It also advises against starting a startup if your idea is too complicated, you want to work alone and hate people, want to be a superstar without putting in the work, see failure as something to hide, or don't have a support system. The document emphasizes that startups require a different mindset than traditional jobs.

Why not to do startups / When no to do startups

YOU: are afraid of changes
YOU: don't like to fly to London on Friday evening
We started from palm app,

the whole idea 4 times and
we came up with paypal
„max levchin”

YOUR: VC presentation has 60 slides
YOUR: idea / product is complicated (tones of features)

You: hate people and love to work by yourself
You: think you can do it by yourself

You: want to be like Steve Jobs, or Mark, or Pincus, or
Popowicz, or...... Mickey Mouse
You: want to be super star

You: perceive failure as something what you need to hide

You: don't have partner / mentor / supporting kid

It is not that you have to change your brain or skin

Startup is not better / worse than corp job or
freelancing
Startup is just different

If you're a freelancer, you're probably already using social media in some way or another, but if a) you aren’t or b) you’re not sure how to use it to shamelessly self-promote, take 5 minutes to view my quick-ish presentation. It looks at 4 common types of social media: blogging, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, with tips on why to use each one and what it can do for soloists who need to show off a bit more to make the bigger bucks. Enjoy.

"A quick & dirty guide to building a marketplace" by Emmanuel Straschnov @Bubble

TheFamily

The document provides an overview of building a quick minimum viable product (MVP) for a marketplace app without coding. It discusses planning out user workflows on paper first before building on a no-code platform. As an example, it walks through designing an apartment rental marketplace with pages to sell and buy listings, including submitting listings, viewing them on a map, and making purchases. The goal is to launch an initial version and get early user feedback to iterate on the product.

ECR Community

This document discusses achieving visibility and control over sales and supply chain operations in the FMCG industry. It begins with historical examples from 1941-1942 in Malaya to illustrate how mindset inertia can ignore threats until a crisis hits. Effective defense requires a progressive, service-oriented general trade that leverages real-time data and analytics. Case studies show distributors and manufacturers improving operations through upgraded facilities, workforce training, and data-driven decision making. Future scenarios include salespeople using mobile technologies for tracking and cost analysis, network rationalization through geographic information systems, and collaboration between manufacturers on logistics and sales territories.

Identifying systemically important banks in payment systems

Kimmo Soramaki

At a conference on systemic risk, Kimmo Soramäki presented a method for identifying systemically important banks in payment systems. The method, called SinkRank, calculates the average distance from other banks to a given bank through weighted random walks, modeling the flow of liquidity. Experiments on an artificial payment network modeled on Fedwire found that banks with lower SinkRank scores, which absorb liquidity from the system more quickly, cause higher disruption when they fail. Soramäki discussed implementing SinkRank to analyze real payment network data.

The document discusses forgetting oneself during namasmaran (remembrance of a divine name). It explains that forgetting oneself in this context does not mean becoming oblivious, but rather forgetting individual doubts and focusing on remedying situations from their root cause. By engaging in namasmaran, one can focus on and work with the unchanging controlling center or Paramatma, rather than being distracted by ever-changing illusions of maya. Feedback from other namasmaran practitioners is welcome.

Why Not Do a Startup

Ideas 2 Propel U

Dave McClure lists 11 reasons why someone should not do a startup, arguing that most startups fail. The reasons include being a "wantrepreneur" motivated by money rather than solving problems, being lazy and comfortable, having an undeveloped idea or product, lacking leadership skills, inability to raise money or market effectively, and preferring leisure activities to changing the world. The overall message is that starting a company requires significant sacrifices and hard work with a high risk of failure.

Roadmap for Teen Entrepreneurs Finding Their Way

Shonika Proctor

This presentation is for Teen Entrepreneurs who are trying to figure out their 'Why' and where they belong. I presented it for the U.S. Small Business Administration, National Small Business Week 2010. They recorded the audio but need approval from legal.

The objective of the presentation is to give teen entrepreneurs so guidance, who need support figuring out their purpose or finding their way in business.
