The tech community has been having a long-overdue conversation about mental health and work/life balance and it’s something I’ve been talking up as far back as 2006 , 2009 , and 2014 on my blog and in public. Given the average person’s opinion of female authority figures, perhaps both. I continue to emphasize that as an investor today.
Many thanks to David Rose , Ilana Grossman , Justin Stanwix , and the whole Gust team for making the Gust Blog such a valuable platform and resource for entrepreneurs and angel investors. I’m proud to contribute to the effort and always enjoy reading what the other authors have to say.
If you read books and blogs that offer encouragement to first-time founders like you, you’ll see six points emphasized repeatedly: Related: How to Overcome the Self-Sabotage of Self-Doubt. Y Combinator’s PaulGraham says, “A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Great entrepreneurs seize opportunity.
Karl Blanks is an Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) London member and the co-founder of Conversion Rate Experts , a Google-authorized consultancy that scientifically converts websites’ visitors into customers. For marketing I love Claude Hopkins, author of Scientific Advertising. For business, the articles of PaulGraham.
Image: Created by author To keep close to the startup community, I chat with founders often. There is a classic blog post written by PaulGraham called “Do Things That Don’t Scale”. I’ll frequently get asked about what growth is, how you apply it to startups, and when you should focus on it. Trust me; I’ve been there.
Doug is also the author of Rethinking Success: Eight Essential Practices for Finding Meaning in Work and Life. Years ago, my close friend Steve Case , cofounder of AOL, and I flew down to Asheville, North Carolina, for a private visit with Billy Graham. Graham’s influence in the world was beyond measure. We spoke for hours.
The first three tools are only relevant if you’re going to generate significant content yourself: Teten.com , my blog and content marketing strategy. I typically publish essays in an established media venue, and then cross-post it on my blog. The mailings are just roundups of recent blog posts, so don’t require extra work.
There are two schools of thought on blogging frequency: high frequency vs high quality. Today social media (twitter, hacker news) generates most of the traffic for a blog by bubbling up the best content. And I figure if I’m writing a blog post, I may as well publish it. Flights are also good times for blogging.
Think of your favorite authors and see if that isn’t precisely one of the things that engages you, and often at first without noticing it. After writing nearly 1000 blog posts, I have to agree. PaulGraham says it a different way. Not to edit blog posts before I published them, but to help me afterwards.
