Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Guy Kawasaki

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

To Our Clients & Friends:  Welcome to our new weekly series entitled “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we post a short video presentation or interview of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs succeed.

This week, we present Guy Kawasaki, managing director of Garage Technology Ventures, co-founder of Alltop and a very smart investor and marketing guy.  In this interesting presentation from a few years ago, Guy discusses, among other things: (i) keeping MBA’s and consultants out of startups, (ii) creating a mantra (not a mission statement) for your venture, (iii) the importance of “getting going,” (iv) defining a business model, (v) the ideal powerpoint presentation and (vi) the “bozo explosion.”  I hope you enjoy it.  Thanks, Scott
