Lessons I Learned from Twitter
As disappointed as I am in Twitter’s new platform/commerce dictatorship, there’s some important takeaways here:
- Being concise is important. Fewer words makes your message more impactful.
- Make yourself easily reachable. What wonderful experiences and insights can come from a few exchanged messages to a person whose ideas you admire!
- Never ignore your business model. This isn’t 1999 and you haven’t created Google.

What kind of an Entrepreneur are you?
John Doerr explains at TechCrunch Disrupt what makes truly disruptive entrepreneurs. For him it all comes down to if the innovator is a missionary or a mercenary.
Missionary - driven by passion - plans for the long-term - open to strategic partnerships - focused on the value statement
Mercenary - pulled by fear - handles biz outlook on need basis (short term) - compelled by the deal - motivated by financial statements
“Everyone wants to make money and they’re lying if they tell you otherwise.”
The difference is that it’s not everything. Mega-successes like Jobs and Zuckerberg wanted to change the world. Great innovators see the bigger picture and it’s their passion that builds great companies.
