Small Is the New Big | Printer-friendly version

  • And that, oddly enough, has been one of the long-term consequences of the ordeal he went through in the spring of '97. It was the beginning of a major change in his perspective on business, he says, forcing him to start thinking about fundamental issues he'd never considered before--such as, how big is big enough? And even, what is success?
  • I thought, You know what? Having calm, controlled growth is good. I would never have said that before. Never. I'd actually heard someone say it when I was in my twenties, and I'd thought, You're a wimp."

Advice for entrepreneurs: Throw out that five-year plan, build something now, and don't take any money - (37signals)

  • Gianforte describes how to build a company from sales rather than enlisting professional financiers. The secret is to stop sweating your five-year plan and start moving the product from day one. If your business idea requires more money than you have at hand, then shrink the idea.
  • Sweat equity is the best equity. “Taking money from someone else kills more start-ups than anything else does. Do everything you can to avoid taking money. If you must, your best prospects are potential customers. You have something they want, so if they invest in you, it can be a win-win situation.”

The Age Blogs:Is it time for a new strategy?

  • Sammartino - who keeps his business plan to a one-page document so it can evolve and adapt easily - sums it up thus: "Our biggest lesson is that any start-up business must be in love with objectives, not the strategy. Business strategy needs to be in a state of constant flux and review."

Plugger.com.au tracks board-level links « Renai LeMay



  • When I attended the launch of Ross Dawson’s top 100 Australian Web 2.0 applications list a few weeks ago, there was a lot of complaining going on about how the mainstream media (although the Australian Financial Review attracted some praise at the time as a notable exception) wasn’t taking Web 2.0 seriously, how nobody would cover the space, complain, moan etc.


    At the time I wrote on my twitter page that any startup with an interesting yarn to tell could contact me. And Plugger.com.au did. They had an interesting yarn which was appropriate for the AFR audience; you can read the story on MISAustralia.com here. It ran in this morning’s AFR.


    The lesson here: mainstream media does listen to Australian startups, if they talk to it.
