					<description><![CDATA[In a world, where &#8220;working on a startup&#8221; has become such a prevalent and socially accepted line on most of our biographies, we often forget to really question why we&#8217;re risking everything in this pursuit. For this week&#8217;s Startup Edition, I wanted to ask exactly that question: &#8220;Why are you working on your startup?&#8221; When [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows WordPress and that it&#8217;s kind of a big deal. We know that it is a blogging platform turned fully fledged CMS. And we know that it powers almost 20% of the entire (indexed) web. Beyond this &#8211; and even though WordPress-related businesses have never been sexy (in the mainstream sense of the word) [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As an entrepreneur you are likely to encounter various aspects of business and life where scarcity might be an issue: funding, customers, revenue, skills, talent or even your time. There is one thing, however, that you will always find in abundance: excuses. And, most of those excuses will end up preventing you from actually doing [...]]]></description>

It started out with a minor injury that I had to rest, but I then took longer to recover from it. As I thought I was ready to run again, I picked up a cold which kept me out [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[PublicBeta officially launched a month ago. But our V1 launch was nothing more than a marketing site. We didn&#8217;t yet have a product. In a traditional, lean startup way, the original launch was aimed at fully validating our idea and value proposition. &#8220;Launching&#8221; a startup with simply a landing page is probably the status quo [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m gobsmacked this morning. What started with a bit of light reading (catching up from my Twitter stream), lead me to this article and startup post-mortem, which in turn linked and lead me down a no-revenue rabbit hole. In the last 10 minutes, I have now read three startup post-mortems (i.e. articles about why these [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been reading quite a bit about how entrepreneurs are actually relatively risk averse, which somewhat contradicts my previous belief that entrepreneurs are people who enjoy risk and take on risk often. Generally speaking, I&#8217;ve always believed that this is down to academic, economic theory: the bigger the risk, the bigger the potential reward. [...]]]></description>

At the time, even my dad &#8211; who is an entrepreneur and business owner himself &#8211; cautioned me about such a bold move. [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m incredibly bad at taking time off and just switching off (from work). Which means I&#8217;m equally bad at taking a proper holiday. This is mostly due to the fact that [my mind is always busy](I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m incredibly bad at), which makes it difficult [...]]]></description>
