Too many entrepreneurs treat their start-ups like Hollywood relationships: the affair begins with a lot of passion, is great for headlines, and might even lead to deals, but as soon as things get a little rocky -- or something better comes along -- the entrepreneur is outta there faster than you can say "Renee Zellweger".., Valium For Sale.

These zero-commitment capitalists proudly call themselves "serial entrepreneurs, buy Valium from canada," which, Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay, in relationship terms, would make them philandering sluts. But hey, purchase Valium online no prescription, whatever consenting adults want to do with their time and money is fine with me... Valium pharmacy, But is it good for business.

After all, Order Valium, there's no harm in saying you'll pull an IPO or sell your company to Google in five years -- right. Everyone knows that long-term projections in a business plan are nearly as fictitious as the existence of Dick Cheney's soul.

The problem arises when a single-minded obsession with an exit strategy overrides all commitment to building a profitable business. As depicted in Lemons 2.0: If Everything were Run like a Dotcom, where can i order Valium without prescription, many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs forgot the other part of their business plan called "the revenue model."

Buy Valium no prescription, These entrepreneurs all salivated like pitbulls in a sausage factory when Google blew $1.65 billion on YouTube before the video site even turned a profit, or when eBay's Meg Whitman squandered $2.6 billion on Skype. Consequently, buy Valium without a prescription, hundreds of start-ups launched with no realistic revenue model but, Where can i buy cheapest Valium online, rather, an eye on having some mega-corporation snap them up.

Buy Valium from canada, Yahooooops. Valium For Sale, At the same time, the stock market became as nourishing as a buffet at the Karen Carpenter Bistro.

Consequently, many of those exit-oriented start-ups have suddenly become bottom-ups, buy cheap Valium no rx, landing in the TechCrunch Deadpool, Valium samples, with most people not knowing they ever existed.

The Other Way to Approach Business...

Compare that to SRC Holdings, an American manufacturing conglomerate that emphasizes profitability, Valium from canadian pharmacy, thinking through all contingencies, Buy Valium from mexico, and never laying a single employee off. They're doing just fine in this recession. The Inc, buy cheap Valium. magazine interview with SRC CEO Jack Stack is a must-read for entrepreneurs who are serious about running a business, Valium For Sale. You won't find any obsession with exit strategies here -- indeed, Buy Valium without prescription, the company remains privately held after 26 years, with ownership firmly in the hands of its employees.

So should you have an exit strategy, where can i find Valium online. Yes, Valium price, if you plan to invade a Middle Eastern country or enter a PhD program. But if you're an entrepreneur, consider these links that Wikipedia provides for "Exit Strategy":

Surrender
Withdrawal

No-win situation
Total U.S, where can i buy Valium online. Withdrawal in the Vietnam War

Valium For Sale, Not inspiring, huh.

So, Buy generic Valium, yes, absolutely put an exit strategy in your business plan to appease the banker and the VC, but before you even buy your first Aeron chair, buy Valium online cod, be sure you also engrave these words into the wall of your spanking new office:

for better for worse,
for richer for poorer, rx free Valium,
in sickness and in health, Valium pharmacy, to love and to cherish,
till death do us part."

Diazepam For Sale, by Freddy J. Nager, Diazepam samples, Founder of Atomic Tango LLC

A long time ago, in an Internets far far away, the people were promised a galaxy free of corporate-empire dominance, where can i buy Diazepam online, where the little guy would have a fair and equal shot at being heard, Diazepam for sale, where small businesses could claim riches once envisioned only by multinationals, and where unsung individuals would finally be sung. The playing fields would all be level, buy Diazepam online cod, and there would be many goals to shoot at... Buy Diazepam without prescription, But in episode 1.0, the hurdles were still forbidding, with even the simplest website requiring arcane knowledge or at least the cash to hire a talented bounty hunter/coder, where can i buy cheapest Diazepam online. This, Purchase Diazepam online, of course, favored the same old giant corporations who went by such names as Time-Warner and AOL and, sometimes, order Diazepam, poorly conceived unions between the two.

Then came the promise of episode 2.0, Diazepam For Sale. Where can i order Diazepam without prescription, The alliance of rebels and finance wizards (dubbed "VC's") generated all new platforms that gave the little guy a true shot at exposure -- free. Free was Good. The people cheered and began to flock to these "social media." And everyone who met on these platforms instantly called each other "friend."

But in free market tradition, Diazepam price, some platforms quickly degenerated into hives of scum and villainy. Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay, From the deepest, darkest reaches of cyberspace came cabals of spammers with their mechanized armies of spambots, lurking trolls who cursed everything and claimed to be "first" on every comment board, buy no prescription Diazepam online, and envoys -- both secret and official -- of the corporate empires who tried to blend in with the masses and claim these platforms as their own. Diazepam For Sale, And as the corporate envoys discovered, the VC's behind these "user-driven" platforms were venally open to propositions of collusion and bribery called "sponsorship" and outright "acquisitions." Communications between the two were frequently intercepted by rebel bloggers, like "How much for a featured spot on your homepage?" and "That's some valuable real estate -- how much you want?" along with such secret codes as CPM, CPC, ROI and WTF. Buy Diazepam no prescription, Even more nefarious, one platform founder tried to claim all the user content on his site as his own to do with as he wanted forever and ever and ever even if the users tried to escape his world by deleting their accounts. "All your contents are belong to us!" he LOL'd quietly in his Terms Of Service (a T.O.S, Diazepam over the counter. that proved to be a P.O.S.). Buy Diazepam from mexico, And he would have succeeded, too, had he not been exposed by some meddling kids and sent to his room without dinner, Diazepam from canadian pharmacy.

To combat the dangerous liaisons and power grabs, as well as fend off spammers and trolls, the little guys looked to each other and decided to form alliances of their own, Diazepam For Sale. In order to make it as individuals, Order Diazepam from mexican pharmacy, they surmised, they needed to come together. Leaders were anointed -- sometimes by their friends, rx free Diazepam, sometimes by themselves -- and they quickly set out to form the largest networks they could, Order Diazepam online c.o.d, because even here in virtual reality, size did matter.

For while the playing fields were still touted as level, online buying Diazepam, some players had teams. Online buy Diazepam without a prescription, Really big teams. Diazepam For Sale, With no salary caps.

As it came to be, many Internets users who once sneered at fraternities and sororities (often because they weren't invited to the reindeer games) now formed brotherhoods and sisterhoods of their own with their own hazing rituals called "site etiquette." It soon became clear that mobs now ruled, buy Diazepam from canada, and a once amicable noun had become a command: FRIEND ME. Buy cheap Diazepam, Yes, members of these mobs were still called "friends" on most platforms, even though many of them had met but once at a conference or vaguely remembered each other from junior high, online buy Diazepam without a prescription. On LinkedIn they were called "Connections, Purchase Diazepam online, " on YouTube "Subscribers," and on Twitter they were most accurately dubbed "Followers." Because followers they truly were, ready to do the bidding of their leaders in order to ensure individual success in a compromised universe, where can i buy cheapest Diazepam online.

The tales of mob rule soon became legion:

On YouTube, Diazepam samples, esteemed cewebrities like the Great Nalts issued free tomes revealing secrets to success, and these secrets spoke much of "collaborations." Where a sole YouTuber could once procure fame armed with little more than a webcam and a confession, it now took tens of thousands of views to become popular, buy Diazepam without prescription, and still no one -- not even the cewebrities -- could crack the secret code to getting on the homepage. The natives also no longer discussed (even in hushed tones) the pretty young girl who achieved fame and stole many a young geek's heart by claiming to be lonely, since it was revealed that she was but the fabrication of some Hollywood filmmakers, Diazepam For Sale. Diazepam price, On Digg, where double-digit votes once sufficed to be made popular and appear on the coveted front page, the task now required triple- or even quadrulple-digits and a politically leftward tilt, australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay. Would quintuple-digits and a lifetime MoveOn.org membership soon be mandatory for minimum exposure.

On Reddit, newcomers (not so affectionately called "noobs") could not figure out how the hell to get a single vote. The natives of this secret society spoke of "karma" and winked suggestively, but they responded not to emails seeking wisdom.

And in the land of Twitter Diazepam For Sale, , the people competed feverishly for followers, avidly tweeting and following each other's tweets until they did nothing but, resulting in real-world work going undone, houseplants going unwatered, and children going "what's up with Mom and Dad?"

Any individual too unpopular -- or too occupied with real life -- to form a personal mob was soon besieged by snake oil salesmen and consultants who came crawling from the virtual woodwork, boasting of their magical ability to make something go viral by using the mystic intonations of "word of mouth" (sometimes cutely referred to as "word of mouse"). "For you and some coin, we shall create buzz," they hissed. Oddly, in order to market their magical powers, many of these word-of-mouth experts resorted to paid advertising.

In addition, free itself began to disappear, as VC's started to clamor for something called a "revenue model" and "the need to monetize our user bases" -- which echoed the last gasps of 1.0. The corporations heard and smiled, for the Internets and its barbarian hordes had sacked and depleted their once mighty traditional-media empires, and now the time had come to strike back.

Would this be how the New Media Promise ended, with as much chaos and bias as traditional media and markets, Diazepam For Sale. Would the famed jedi, Obama-won-Alreadi, be our only Hope. Or would something new come along to blow this planet-sized machine to smoking smithereens -- something truly individualized and free and not requiring an upgrade or a long-term contract with massive early-termination fees...

We'll find out in episode 3.0... if there is a 3.0.

Or maybe we'll get a prequel.

In the meantime, maybe we all should just turn off the computers and go outside for a walk. Who knows -- this substance called "fresh air" could be a good thing.

Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, by Freddy J. Nager, Founder of Atomic Tango LLC & Survivor of Multiple Dotcoms

So I'm walking through my neighborhood counting the foreclosure signs when I develop this mighty thirst. Fortunately, I find a lemonade stand run by an enterprising six-year-old named Zucky. Just as I'm about to pay $4 for a cup (obviously, Zucky graduated from the Starbucks Preschool of Management), I see another lemonade stand across the street run by another enterprising six-year-old, buy Phentermine no prescription. This one, however, has a sign saying "Free Lemonade." Free. I like free, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription. Free is good. Plus, I'm trying to save enough money to fuel up my car. Order Phentermine online c.o.d, So I cross the street to the land of the free, and find myself talking to Zucky's arch rival, Sergei...

Freddy: So this lemonade is really free.
Sergei: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, Yep.
Freddy: Really.
Sergei: Can't you read.
Freddy: I'm just wondering why you're giving away free lemonade.
Sergei: It's a business, purchase Phentermine online no prescription. Duh, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Freddy: I see. But how are you making money from it.
Sergei: Double duh. The point is not to make money, but to develop a user base.
Freddy: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, A user base.
Sergei: Yep. Phentermine pharmacy, If I get enough customers coming to my lemonade stand, I can sell ad space to sponsors.
Freddy: Uh-huh. So do you have sponsors now.
Sergei: Kinda, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Freddy: Kinda what.
Sergei: See that stack of flyers from the Clique Mortgages Company.
Freddy: Yeah.
Sergei: If you take one, buy no prescription Phentermine online, the company pays me one cent. Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, It's a pay per Clique model.
Freddy: And that one cent gives you a profit on the lemonade.
Sergei: Hell no. The lemonade costs me 10 cents a cup. But I'll make it up on the volume.

Since I was a liberal arts major, I assume his math is correct, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.

Sergei: (leaning in and whispering) But hey, Buy cheap Phentermine, mister, can you keep a secret.
Freddy: Sure. (I don't mention that I'm a blogger.)
Sergei: My friends come by every day and take all the flyers to make spitwads. That way I get paid by the Clique and I don't have to give away any lemonade.
Freddy: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, So you're telling me a bunch of six-year-olds are doing all the Cliquing. That doesn't exactly help the mortgage company.
Sergei: That's not my problem. If the advertiser is too cheap to pay up front, order Phentermine no prescription, that's what they get.
Freddy: But that's not exactly ethical...
Sergei: (shrugging) It's legal, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Freddy: Why don't you just throw the flyers away yourself.
Sergei: What do I look like, a crook.
Freddy: Right. Where can i buy cheapest Phentermine online, Well then, give me a cup of lemonade. Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, And a flyer.
Sergei: Cool, but first you gotta fill out this form.
Freddy: Form. Why.
Sergei: Man, you are one dense dude, buy Phentermine without a prescription. I gotta prove to my future sponsors that I got a user base, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription. Plus, all I'm asking is your name, email address, phone number, and a little demographic info.
Freddy: You know a lot for a six-year-old. Buy Phentermine no prescription, Sergei: I watch CNBC.
Freddy: So you're the one... Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, Now, how do I know you're not going to sell my personal information to someone else -- or call me up in the middle of the night.

Sergei ducks under the table and re-emerges with a stack of papers the thickness of War And Peace.

Sergei: Here, read my privacy policy.
Freddy: I'm not going to read all that.
Sergei: I thought so. Now do you want the lemonade or what, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.

Just then, buy no prescription Phentermine online, Zucky, the kid at the original stand across the street, signals me over. He now has a sign that says "Drink lemonade, get paid!" Hmm, this is even better than free. Rx free Phentermine, I go back over to his stand.

[caption id="attachment_186" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="photo by Shawnson, courtesy of Creative Commons"][/caption]

Freddy: Let me get this straight. I get your lemonade -- and your money.
Zucky: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, Yeah, though it's not exactly my money.
Freddy: Whose is it.
Zucky: You know my dad, Victor Cunning.
Freddy: Oh yeah, buy Phentermine online no prescription, VC.
Zucky: He's financing this joint.
Freddy: Why, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Zucky: What else is he gonna do with his money -- invest in real estate.
Freddy: Good point. Speaking of which, what is the point of this business. Phentermine for sale, Zucky: Oh, my dad plans to sell it once I reach critical mass.
Freddy: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, Critical mass of what.
Zucky: Users, stupid. Once I build up a big enough user base, some major corporation will want it.
Freddy: What is it with you kids and user bases.
Zucky: Dude, order Phentermine from mexican pharmacy, did you break all the bulbs in your chandelier. Building a big user base is a best practice, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Freddy: Why is that a best practice.
Zucky: Because Sergei does it and he's the market leader.
Freddy: Zucky, just because a market leader does something doesn't make it a best practice.
Zucky: It does.
Freddy: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, Does not. Phentermine from canadian pharmacy, Zucky: Does.
Freddy: Does not. Listen, if Sergei were to jump off a cliff, would you do the same.
Zucky: That's so patronizing. Stop talking to me like I'm six years old, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Freddy: You are six years old.
Zucky: Oh, australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay. Right. I use words like "patronizing" and I forget.
Freddy: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, In any case, why would a big corporation buy a money losing operation.
Zucky: Lotsa reasons. They wanna diversify. They wanna appear cutting edge by getting into the next big thing. They wanna invest their liquid holdings before the dollar depreciates anymore.
Freddy: You're pretty savvy for a six year old, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription. Phentermine over the counter, Zucky: And you're pretty dopey for a sixty year old.
Freddy: I'm forty.
Zucky: Same difference. Anyway, the big corporation has big resources, so they can suck up the losses longer, and then when there's a recession, they just write down the investment so that it's all bundled up with a whole lotta other losses at the same time, where can i order Phentermine without prescription. Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, That forces management to do a lotta cost cutting, and Wall Street loves cost cutting, so the CEO gets rewarded a fat bonus.
Freddy: Only in the mind of a six-year-old.
Zucky: Or a corporate CEO. So, you gonna have a lemonade or what.
Freddy: Do I need to fill out a from.
Zucky: That's stupid, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription. No, Buy Phentermine online cod, just put this in your pocket.

Zucky hands me a lint-covered Oreo.

Freddy: What's this.
Zucky: It's a cookie. Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, I keep track of how many users I got with cookies. Just don't throw it out.
Freddy: Sure. Whatever.
Zucky: And here's your lemonade and a penny, order Phentermine online c.o.d.
Freddy: Gee, a penny, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription. How generous.

I drink, but immediately gag and start spitting up pink chunks of meat.

Freddy: There's Spam in this lemonade.
Zucky: Those are my advertisers.
Freddy: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, This is terrible.
Zucky: What do you want for less-than-free. Purchase Phentermine online, Freddy: Not Spam in lemonade.
Zucky: Well, if you want an ad-free experience, you have to upgrade.
Freddy: How much is an upgrade.
Zucky: Four dollars, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.

Just then Zucky's father, Victor Cunning, appears with another adult male in a suit, Phentermine samples.

Zucky: Whassup, pops.
VC: Hey, Zucky. I'd like you to meet the new manager of the lemonade stand.
Zucky: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, What do you mean. I'm the manager. Buy Phentermine from canada, VC: Well, Zucky, what's best for the business is if you're relieved of your day-to-day responsibilities so you can focus on, uh, serving as a consultant to us.
Zucky: Consultant?. But this is my lemonade stand. I started it, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription. I don't want to consult my own company, Phentermine pharmacy.
VC: Technically, it's MY company. But don't worry, Zucky, this guy is an MBA.
Zucky: Great, Where can i buy cheapest Phentermine online, there goes the neighborhood. Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, As Zucky sulks, Sergei starts shouting from across the street.

Sergei: Hey, user dude, my lemonade is ad-free and I'll pay you a dollar to drink it.

Sergei: Winner takes all.
Zucky: Fool, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription. You'll drive us both out of business, buy generic Phentermine.
Sergei: Maybe I will, maybe I won't.
Zucky: You're a unitard.
Sergei: I know you are but what am I. Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, And that's when both boys start scrapping in a flurry of fists and feet. I break up the fight and only suffer moderate injuries in the process.

Freddy: Boys, Order Phentermine, boys. Don't you see that you're just repeating the mistakes of the first Lemonade Bubble.
Sergei: There was a first Lemonade Bubble. When did that happen, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Freddy: Oh, around 2000, 2001.
Zucky: Dude, that was more than five years ago, buy Phentermine from mexico.
Freddy: Yes. So.
Sergei: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, Well, don't you know, if a mistake happens more than five years ago, it's OK to repeat it.
Zucky: Right, Sergei. That's why your mom's pregnant again.

The boys laugh and start walking off together, Buy cheap Phentermine, but I can hear their words on the quiet street.

Sergei: That guy was such a nimrod.
Zucky: That's why he's a user and we're the entrepreneurs, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Sergei: Hey, Zucky, that just gave me an idea.
Zucky: Whatcha thinking.
Sergei: We can cut costs by making the nimrods provide their own products.
Zucky: You mean --
Sergei: User-generated lemonade.
Zucky: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, Yeah. We just build the ultimate stand.
Sergei: And promise them a share of the revenue.
Zucky: Yeah. Like one-tenth of one-tenth of one-tenth percent.
Sergei: How much is that, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Zucky: I don't know, I haven't learned fractions yet.
Sergei: How will we get it started.
Zucky: Easy. First, we'll steal some lemonade from the store.
Sergei: Buy Phentermine Without Prescription, And we'll take the labels off.
Zucky: And we'll tell the cops that the users provided it.
Sergei: And then we'll put some chairs around the stand, and the users will bring lemonade so they can talk to each other.
Zucky: Yeah, adults have trouble socializing, so they need all the help they can get.
Sergei: We'll call it... social wet-working, Buy Phentermine Without Prescription.
Zucky: I love it.
Sergei: Awesome, huh.
