My friend Loic Le Meur writes an ebullient explanation for LinkedIn of the many ways you can advance a business without agonizing over it. His main message is not to agonize, but rather just do it. Company ideas come when you least expect them; the best ideas don’t flow from workaholism; mistakes are part of the package; starting before you’re ready is routine; and focusing on how much money you’ll make is counterproductive. Those are just some of his excellent lessons. Reading it has given me some great thoughts about Techonomy. Like so many companies we are too cautious, even though we’ve had some success. We are always looking for ideas about how to do things more aggressively.
