5 Ways to Grow Your Startup by Focusing on Mindshare- John Ruhlin

While growing your startup, metrics serve as your markers for success. When you can command a sizable market share, you know you’ve made it. Right? Not exactly. Many entrepreneurs fall for this flawed thinking and get distracted from the metrics that really matter. To build an amazing business, you may only need 100 of the right people to know and love you.

9 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My First Startup- Neil Patel

Lesson #1: Investors love to make excuses on why they don’t want to invest When we first started pitching Crazy Egg, no investor would write us a check.
