The importance of fun | Write Anyway with Alice Bradley Rooster! by Alice Bradley When I was in graduate school, one of my instructors advised us all to pursue a hobby that was right-brain-centered. Something like art, or photography, or the banjo. Anything that got us out of writing mode, she said. I interpreted this as, “Take a photography course and then maybe you’ll have a backup career if this writing thing stalls.” Fast-forward to many years later, when I was in the throes of one of my worst depressions ever. “Faaaahn?” “Fun,” he said. “What is this ‘faaahrn’?” Before I left that day, he commanded me to spend the next week doing nothing but activities I enjoyed. I was so depressed that the only thing I could think to do was watch movies on Netflix, so I did that for a week. But drawing and painting, I thought, that was fun. It’s been over six months and I’ve been drawing and painting almost every day, since then. What’s fun for you?

Yet despite these odds, VC's are tripping over themselves to invest in the most attractive entrepreneurs. Here are six key things the most talented entrepreneurs do. 1) Lead with Passion: When you are passionate about your ideas and connected to the purpose behind your mission, your attractiveness goes through the roof. 2) Don't Fake It: Nowadays, we all have highly developed "bullshit detectors." 3) Be Interested Instead of Interesting: Dale Carnegie had it right--you attract others when you are genuinely interested in them.
