The Secret Fears of an Entrepreneur We entrepreneurs keep a lot of things bottled up inside. We tend to want people to think that we're on top of our business and everything is going exactly as planned. The truth is, we often have very rational concerns about what we're doing and how we're doing it. Unfortunately, we often keep our fears hidden because we're worried about what how they may be perceived. Having moderated the stories and questions on StartupsAnonymous.com. for nearly a year now, I can tell you that no entrepreneur is alone. Whether you talk about it openly or not, most entrepreneurs have a very healthy fear of failure and discontent. To illustrate my point, the following are they fears that follow me around every day and I never say to anyone ... I'm not getting any younger. What are your secret fears?
uk.businessinsider Excerpted from the book Fearless Genius: The Digital Revolution in Silicon Valley 1985-2000 by Doug Menuez, Atria Books. Foreword by Elliott Erwitt, Introduction by Kurt Andersen.Steve Jobs rides a school bus with NeXT employees in 1987. The 1980s and 1990s were a pivotal time for innovation in Silicon Valley. In 1981, shortly after Apple released the Apple 1, IBM introduced the first PC. A few years later, the World Wide Web would be born. Documentary photographer Doug Menuez happened to be in Silicon Valley at the time. "I would go to Silicon Valley occasionally, and it was terrible. In 1985, shortly after Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple, Menuez asked if he could document the Apple founder's new venture, a personal computing company he called NeXT. To his surprise, Jobs agreed. "He knew he was a historical figure," Menuez said. Menuez spent the next three years documenting what was happening inside the young company. "At NeXT, they were constantly hiring absolutely brilliant people.

While you may not be negotiating multimillion-dollar deals with customers or vendors, chances are you're negotiating all sorts of things--from a hoped-for raise, to a flexible work schedule, to a plum assignment on a product development team. Negotiation is a skill that gets better with practice--the more you negotiate, the more comfortable you'll be and the better your skills. That said, there are certain negotiation tips that can quickly move you from amateur to pro status. Give these a try the next time you find yourself in a negotiation, and you will exceed your expectations every time. 1. The fact is, most negotiators make an initial offer that is lower than the number that they are prepared to settle for--it's just an expected part of the negotiation game. 2. You put the other party at an advantage when you agree to conduct the negotiation at their offices. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
uk.businessinsider Author Nicholas Carlson Tells Us What Startups Can Learn From Marissa Mayer There are few figures in the tech industry today who are more compelling than Marissa Mayer. So it’s not surprising that she makes for a very compelling subject in Marissa Mayer and the Fight to Save Yahoo, the new book written by Business Insider’s Chief Correspondent Nicholas Carlson. So we asked Carlson to swing by TechCrunch HQ while he was in town this week to chat a bit about the book. You can see our full seven-minute talk in the video embedded above, but I wanted to pull out a couple of quotes here. While the book has gotten a lot of attention for providing a detailed and sometimes unflattering look at Marissa Mayer and her career, it’s apparent that he’s come away from all his research and writing with nothing but respect for his subject. “I think Marissa Mayer is a total rock star. “I tell the story of how Mayer, at age 22, 23, came out of Stanford.

uk.businessinsider Elon Musk wants to spend $10 billion building the internet in space | The Verge Elon Musk's plan for satellite internet is even more ambitious than originally thought. At a SpaceX event in Seattle on Friday, the Tesla CEO told Bloomberg Businessweek that his unnamed Space Internet venture could one day stretch all the way to Mars — and it could cost $10 billion to pull off. "I don't see anyone else doing it." The news comes at the tail end of a busy week for Musk, with the CEO announcing that a five-mile Hyperloop test track is in development only a day earlier. According to Musk, the satellite internet project would make for fast, cheap global internet that isn't impeded by terrestrial wires. "The speed of light is 40 percent faster in the vacuum of space than it is for fiber," he says, explaining that internet provided by satellites in low orbit can serve those in sparsely populated areas. "It will be important for Mars to have a global communications network as well," he says. Verge Video Archives: Can We Colonize Mars?
Scientists find Mars probe Beagle 2 intact a decade after it disappeared When British spacecraft Beagle 2 successfully ejected from Mars Express back on December 19th 2003, scientists expected to obtain confirmation of its touchdown on the Red Planet on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, no contact was ever received. Believing that it had been destroyed in a high-impact landing, the UK-led team abandoned the project, scuppering plans to search for signs of life on Mars. It's taken more than 11 years, but there's now finally some good news to report: Beagle 2 has been found intact on the planet's surface. "What we can say today with some confidence is that Beagle 2 is no longer lost," says Dr. Beagle 2 was designed with a number of "petals" that would unfurl to reveal a series of solar panels and instruments. So while Beagle 2 didn't fulfil its mission on Mars, scientists will be cheered by the fact its expedition was partially successful.
m.androidcentral If you've been following the misadventures of OnePlus and Micromax over in India, you know that there's been a bit of a disagreement over who gets to use Cyanogen OS (as opposed to the totally open-source CyanogenMod) due to an exclusivity agreement that was created alongside the launch of the Micromax Yu brand. It's been a pretty big mess that has resulted in some unfortunately vague language regarding software support for the OnePlus One in India, and even got the OnePlus One banned from being sold in the country for a bit. While Micromax and OnePlus have clearly drawn their battle lines and are prepared to let the Indian courts settle things, the folks over at Cyanogen, Inc. have been deafeningly silent on the entire matter. Since this whole mess started, there's been general unrest regarding what this will mean for devices running Cyanogen OS in the future. "We're stuck in the middle of a fight between OnePlus and Micromax, because we're supplying the OS to both companies."
Never Take Failure Lightly I’ve made some pretty big mistakes in my personal life. If you buy my wife a few beers, she’ll have you rolling on the floor, I’m sure. Don’t worry about me; I’ll just be in the corner quietly crying into my scotch. I’ve had a few professional failings, as well. But there’s one simple and yet enormously critical reason why those mistakes and failures didn’t drag my life down into a deep, dark pit of despair and red ink. Truth is, failure is to be avoided and its negative impact minimized. I bring this up because I hear a lot of casual references to failure these days. Here’s the thing. Related: How to Be Happy. The biggest mistake I ever made in my career was walking out on a late-stage startup where I was the number two guy to become the top guy at an early-stage startup. It still makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. Funny thing is, I never regretted the decision. The first was that 20+ years in the corporate world had burned me out. Don’t get me wrong.
