David’s talk “The Real World” is awesome. I posted earlier on a few points he made during the FOWA dublin event about being productive, using a 4 hour work week, and creating something simple. Now the video of his talk is out and I highly recommend it here. A very shocking statement he says is simply “F*** startups! It’s about creating a business…You’re great idea has to merit with somebody wanting to pay you for your service or product. How do I figure out whether it’s a viable business? I ask myself would I get out my credit card and pay for it?” I think this really hits the nail on the head. I am guilty myself in that I am always thinking startup startup startup, I want to create a startuppp!!..when really this is rubbish. It’s about creating a business that I am passionate about and something that really solves a need.
