I laughed out loud at the comments from people who I can only describe as 'poor losers'. Thanks for hosting Guy and thanks for your great efforts.

I make a habit of checking out Guy's blog since I have a small startup business myself. I'm a Career Coach and what really interests me is the application of the 'entrepreneurial mindset' as it relates to one's career. Just as Guy mentions above: 1) Do your homework (know your organization and it's competition) 2) Network (get out and meet people, don't hang in your cube in front of your computer all day - get visible) 3)Have a stong pitch (be able to tell an employer what you will do/bring to them and back it up with result statements - stick with the 'What's In It For Them' rule). I think if more people would bring the 'entrepreneurial mindset' to their career activities they would find more passion in what they do. In my business, our philosophy is 'Dig What You Do' and this mindset is a pathway. Thanks for all the great info. in your blog. Robin Ogden Hi Wendy – Thanks for posting this information.

Great summary! And I love Guy Kawasaki's writing & talks (though I don't always agree with his observations). I only read this post because it was about stuff that Guy Kawasaki. Oddly I am one of those few people with a startup software development company that is not seeking VC funding any kind. Great advice! Great summary!
