Larry Chiang mentored the small percentage (%) of college student entrepreneurs that achieved a FICO over 800. He started Duck9 while he was an undergrad. Duck9’s double entendre is to duck-and-avoid 9’s (credit code charge-off) and is also the acronym, “Deep Underground Credit Knowledge 9”. After a Harvard Law School keynote, Harvard Business wrote: “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“.

By Larry Chiang
There’s an internet rule we can lever called “1%-9%-90%”. It helps us go from the left side of the results bell curve to the right side of the bell curve
The Internet rule ‘1%-9%-90%’ states 1% create, 9% comment/interact/curate, and 90% consume. Previous writers levered this construct and applied it specifically to web publishing. This blog post takes and applies ‘1%-9%-90%’ to starting up a startup.
Opportunity: blogging helps you but verrry few will blog.
I see at the student entrepreneur level a clear pattern that repeats: student entrepreneurs push back on using WORDPRESS. Young people have been coached to not use Facebook because of career ramifications for posting party pictures. They take that mentorship of not sharing to also mean not documenting ideas and the curation of startup content on WordPress.
Thus, an opportunity for you, the NCAA student-athlete. Take this as an entrepreneur foundation in the United States of America (best country ever). To repeat so all y’all get it, “Blogging for the 1% that produce. Medium is for the 9% that kinda wanna blog
Therefore, it’s an opportunity to blog ON WORDPRESS and improve ourselves WHILE STAYING SAFE. By safe, I mean we can write blog posts while safely saying little. We can summarize and curate entrepreneurship articles we read. Here are five hashtags that serve as signature business subroutines to execute:
– #MVBP. google MVBP “Minimum Viable Blog Post”
– #EUTWMPPM
– #LCMCC
– #SequelzEngr145 (with a “z” OMG, I just made myself throw up a li’l 🙂
– #MMPQQ
The fact that only 1% of humans use WORDPRESS to compose blog posts is an advantage for us if we want to rise. That percentage is constant and continues for traditional adults, after student entrepreneur life. Take my mentors advice and EUTWMPPM your LCMCC by doing LTMVBP’s. And tag your tweets “#ENGR145”
