When showing a product to a potential customer, the best outcome is those fantastic words, “How do I pay for this”. Those words were said at my first pitch and it’s all because of ditching MVP.
El desprecio ¿Qué es el desprecio?¿Se puede tener desprecio por la gente o será que noa despreciamos a nosotros mismos en realidad?Yo pienso nos volvimos un poco víctimas de nuestras necesidades.Esa necesidad de tener gente atada, necesidad de ser adorados, de tener el ego allá arriba en la cornisa de los edificios.Pero como todo lo que pasea en…
Entrepreneurship — until you’ve tried it, it is difficult to describe. When you talk about it it has all the resemblances of a nice neat little box: idea, prototype, tests, clients, funding, growth, etc. But when you are in it you really get to know yourself — what you are good at…

Thanks for the comprehensive post. Here are my 2 cents:
I think the entry of MVNOs can change the industry landscape as it shall give a new dimension of competitiveness beyond price. Telco experts in India believe so as the Indian regulator is about open license for MVNOs soon. You may read more about the case in India here.

Perdón pero yo creo que las personas que posponen cosas todo el tiempo deberían morirse, a lo mejor suena un poco extremista, pero imagínense posponer el "querer" y dejarlo para otro tiempo, especular como si la vida fuese un puñado de acciones de la bolsa, eso -en realidad- me parece más triste que morirse.

I can’t say Silicon Valley failed to understand UX. How I see it, it tries to educate people consequences of not applying proper UX. It also tries to show what happens when a whole team is comprised of developers only.

I disagree on this point. Thanks to the iPhone we are now used to it in our day-to-day life. Showing the “is-typing” message is kinda like an loading indicator. Not getting this indicator after I texted somebody (even a bot) feels like getting ignored (not cool, even not from a bot). Especially when the bot needs some time to resolve my request.

All good. I applaud that and it’s something I try to do as well and even promote or “inspire”.
But I think it’s a much simpler question than that. I’m talking about almost any decision really. How’d one make a decision to do A? Or not do A? Or A or B? Or none? Or A, B, C or D? Or none? Whatever A, B, C, D are. Because…

We should buy more products and services — vincenthuberta.com
Consistently being frugal and saving money can be really useful to accumulate startup capital when someone aspires to be an entrepreneur or businessman. However, buying products and services actually teach us more than being frugal, it teaches us about the market.

Very good yet goofy article. Lots of valid concerns there. To be honest no matter how many times you read the lean startup essentially it all comes down to the theory of 10 000 hours. No one decides to be a musician and just gets it. Some people do but not realistically. Faliure is a symptom of not having done the hours yet and companies cant survive…
Thanks John, interesting thoughts. I was also at the seminar and the main point I took away was the inadequacy of our current, fragmented policy frameworks. Competition law, network regulation, media policy, human rights, international tax law —the activities of the new trusts touch all of them. But none offers a clear or apparently effective way of…

Great article Andy! I am a big fan of storytelling and it’s been one of the tools in my tool box for most of my 20 year career. I am fortunate enough to have not only a great personal story but also an amazing story of how our start up Fitzii made its debut! It is these “stories” which have excellerated our growth in the most amazing and unexpected ways!
I like the image of the fragile idea a lot! I still think sharing your idea at an early stage is crucial for it to grow in the right direction. Many young entrepreneurs think that if they talk about their idea that someone else will steal it — but I’ve never seen this. What I’ve seen is that people who keep their idea too long for themselves might…
