Start a Business, Not a Startup

from REWORK Hosted by 37signals

Last episode of the year and we're talking about startups. The new dry cleaner down the street doesn't call itself a startup. The pizza place on the corner doesn't call itself a startup. They're new businesses, that's all! So, what's so special about your tech company that you need a fancy word for it? Startups make you think of unlimited growth, huge investments, no expenses to worry about. This mindset can be unhealthy and detrimental to your new business. Show Notes 02:57 - Request for Proposal (Investopedia) 10:02 - Greater fool theory (Wikipedia) 15:57 - R.I.P. Good Times (Sequoia Capital) 23:00 - Hotwire
