Il y a 3 ans jour pour jour, le 1er septembre 2008, je débarquais sur le campus HEC avec pour mission de monter l’incubateur HEC. Nous sommes aujourd’hui le 1er septembre 2011, et j’entame une nouvelle aventure, avec (enfin) le retour à ce que je préfère, le lancement de startup. Ce combo « date anniversaire + page qui se tourne » m’a donné envie, autant pour moi que pour le partage, de faire un bilan de ces 3 années… Beaucoup d’apprentissage(s)… Si je fais le bilan de mon passage à la tête de l’incubateur HEC, je retiens d’abord l’incroyable chance en termes de formation pour moi : passer trois ans à décortiquer les clés du succès des entrepreneurs, à apprendre de leurs erreurs, à vivre aux côtés de plus de 80 startups, à rencontrer des entrepreneurs qui ont réussi et fait grandir de belles pousses… forcément qu’il en reste quelque chose !

Ten Lies You’ll Hear Before Pursuing Your Dream | MintLife Blog | Personal Finance News & Advice

(photo: salty_soul ) Unfortunately, just before you take your first step on the righteous journey to pursue your dreams, people around you, even the ones who deeply care for you, will give you awful advice. It’s not because they have evil intentions. It’s because they don’t understand the big picture—what your dreams, passions, and life goals mean to you. They don’t understand that, to you, the reward is worth the risk. So they try to protect you by shielding you from the possibility of failure, which, in effect, also shields you from the possibility of making your dreams a reality. http://www.mint.com/blog/trends/lies-10292010/

7 Warning Signs Your “Big Idea” Is Going to Flop

Ever have a really great idea for a product? You know, the kind of idea that leaves you slack-jawed and wide-eyed with wonder at the sheer potential of it all. You want to grab someone by the shoulders and explain the whole thing in a breathless rush, watching their eyes grow in wonder as they realize you’re going to be rich and famous. http://blog.kissmetrics.com/product-flop/

How Many Hours Should a Startup Employee Work?

http://www.instigatorblog.com/how-many-hours-should-a-startup-employee-work/2010/08/26/ Every so often I get drawn into the debate about startup employees and how much they should work. Should you hire workaholics? Is it expected that startup employees work 100+ hours per week? Should they be online all the time, constantly available and ready to go? It depends. And it’s up to you.
