I'm often the last one to leave an event, held back by the most persistant of entrepreneurs trying to squeeze as much advice as they can out of me. Often times, the advice is terrible or impractical. They don't look cautiously at the advice given to them by their favorite VC blogger. I'll show up generally anywhere I get invited to speak. I love public speaking, teaching and generally being helpful.

Everybody has a blog these days and there is much advice to be had. Many startups now go through accelerators and have mentors passing through each day with advice – usually it’s conflicting. There are some smart if not somewhat cerebral bloggers I read who say that you shouldn’t take any startup advice at all because it’s too generalized to be useful to your situation. This is generally how I try to organize my own views and how I try to give advice.

I call this process “triangulation” and my advice is always, “ Seek advice but in the end trust your own judgment.”
