Pulling Yourself Up By Your Own Bootstraps

“And that was only one of the many occasions on which I met my death, an experience which I don’t hesitate strongly to recommend.”

Baron Munchausen from The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

One thing I found fascinating from this weekend’s BarCamp Houston was the attention I was given when speaking about cash management and raising capital. I forget that most startups are constantly dealing with the daily minutia, the most painful of which is where the next meal will come from.

With this fresh on my mind I thought it’d be useful to post Guy Kawasaki’s great piece about the art of bootstrapping. Guy’s book, The Art of the Start is a must read for any would-be entrepreneur. This is one of my favorite pieces and after reading it, I believe you’ll bookmark it for a periodic re-read.
