Startups Who Want To Change World - Only 10 Days To Apply To Triangle Startup Factory [Marty Rec] | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Only 10 days left to apply for Triangle Startup Factory's (TSF's) Y-Combinator-like accelerator program. I HIGHLY recommend Chris Hievly and Dave Neal at TSF for any entrepreneur who wants to change the world.

Why I Recommend TSF
I officially turned OLD on 1.1.13, my 55th birthday. I've learned a few things along the way. One lesson is some people GET IT while most do not. 

In this context "get it" means more than being an expert about an area of business expertise. Getting it means you live life bounded by passion, love and connection more than money or its many pursuits. To a true entrepreneur, money is a TOOL to be used to build cool stuff.  

Most of the really rich people I know, and 100% of the mega-successful entrepreneurs I've met and know, have a common approach to life. All mega-successful people are kind, generous and giving. 

Successful entrepreneurs didn't make their millions and then become kind, generous and giving. They made their millions BECAUSE they are all of those things.

 

Chris Hievly and Dave Neal are brilliant entrepreneurs who make a living now helping others. KUDOS to Chris and Dave and kudos to you if you are smart enough to apply and win a place at TSF.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Cool writer marketplace created by my friend Byron White. Byron is a brilliant entrepreneur who literal wrote the book on how to write BOTH for search engine spiders and to engage an audience.

WriterAccess points out the power of platforms over websites. I spoke with Byron today to catch up and he emphasized how much more powerful creating a market place has been. Helps to have a great programmer who gets it too as Byron does. 

Content is king. No matter how much content you are creating it isn't enough. My recommendation would be to supplement any Internet marketing teams output with writers who know about "stop words" and great headlines. 

Find them at my friend Byron's WriterAccess. Oh, and if you are a writer use WriterAccess to find clients who, as Byron just told me on the phone, "Focus on the writing".

Note to self: this oould be a good place to find writers with a penchant for video who would value a new, non-linear way to present stories in video.
