Entrepreneurs: When to Do It
by Miki Saxon
People, in all their varied glory are as Spock said, fascinating.
They come in many different flavors and ‘entrepreneur’ is one of my favorites.
Entrepreneurs come in many flavors, too. From the ones that set out to build the next Google, Facebook, Apple or Intel to the micropreneurs who just want to earn a decent living.
Within every business of any size at any stage there are tasks that are prime for avoidance.
Stuff like establishing culture; defining values; developing financial controls, etc.
All kinds of intangible infrastructure that can wait “until things calm down” or “when we’re bigger”
In other words, mañana—and we all know when that is.
Or, as Ryan Blair says, “If it’s important you’ll find a way. If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse.”
