Every year, my students at Stanford GSB who want to work for startups ask me for advice on where they should work. I disappoint them by recommending that they not to go work for a startup at all. I tell them three words I know it’s hard for them to hear: You’re not ready . I prefer to see them take their first jobs after graduation at midsized companies with momentum, not startups, because they are the companies most likely to be big successes. Why is success so important?

http://andrewchen.co/2012/05/30/stop-asking-but-how-will-they-make-money/ Business models are important, but today they’re commoditized Let me first state: Business models are important. Of course businesses have to make money, that’s a given. But that’s not my point – my point is: Business models are a commodity now, so “how will they make money?” isn’t an interesting question.

Stop asking “But how will they make money?”

Affiliates

Pricing your product or service is an important step towards launch. Getting the pricing right is very important, because it will directly affect how much revenue you will be able to make.
