Sometimes intense people need to be reminded of the obvious as the obvious is too often overlooked

Nice article.
Learn on the job and network for free (or very little money). Such 'orchestrated' startup events tend to be populated with consultants, accountants and lawyers who want your business.
Good luck.
What word would you use?
The first link seems to have been pretty well received before it was taken down, hence the post to the original link.
Too bad that it is oh so true...
I a perfect world, there would be no need for Core Values to be written down. However, as the article points out, at some point in a venture's life, it grows big enough that you can no longer assume everyone is 100% aligned.
Creepy to an entrepreneur, no doubt. However, potentially very necessary for non-entrepreneurs to act in the proper manner.
I like this entry - all too often the Core Values in books are from big companies and are not applicable to most startups.
Nice to see 'real' Core Values that have impacted a real startup.
I especially like the "Great American Novel" question. If answered thoughtfully, it would provide a nice window into the soul of the interviewee.
The "favorite blogger" question is good as well, as it also helps the interviewer understand what motivates and excites the interviewee.
Some are more inspirational. I do agree that this one has less 'meat' than some of the others, but I still like the description of the characteristics shared by many successful entrepreneurs.
Maybe there is a strong correlation between Eagle Scouts and Entrepreneurs?!
Thanks for the feedback.
I think it contains interesting thoughts regarding what characteristics make a startup Advisor effective.
Fight, Flee or Flirt - love it.
