Deep Underground Capital Knowledge about the “Myth and Mystery of Building a Business from ‘Scratch’”

Larry Chiang’s 5th book, WTDTYASBS, launched at a Harvard Law School keynote, so he knows about grand openings (He even attends and promotes the ones he isn’t invited to also). As CEO of Duck9, he leads an army to help college student consumers get a FICO over 770. Post H.L.S. keynote, Harvard Business wrote: “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School” (his latest post: “Setting an intention for SXSWi“.

Tory Burch’s launch was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G at NY Fashion Week!!

Business has recipes just like baking banana bread or making Gua Gua Guacamole. My business thesis in Silicon Valley is that my mentor had some really, really good signature business recipes :-))

So this post is merely an attempt at revealing something I call “Found in Translation”. Remember, I’m dyslexic and will be visually telling this story in ‘Engwish’. Your benefit = Knowing in your bones, the truths behind the phrase “Building a business means creating something from nothing”

Let me repeat to stress that we will be “three quarter baking”

So this post is inspired from my fB news feed. Subject: #dttdsBHM

News feed of Geoffrey Woo who fB updated “Building a business means creating something from nothing”.

My thought was: My 9 mentors taught me to do “Three Quarters Baked”. It’s a hashtag that’ll never be a meme, “#3QB”. [We played #3QB in a class I taught, “Technology Entrepreneurship ENGR145”]

Reverse engineered (for you)

Engineering credit goes to “Munchkin’s” owner. Munchkin is a Shih Tzu girl puppy.

Do you realize that everything popular in this world had a predecessor?!

I taught this concept of “sequels” inside ENGR 145 the second year I taught and got lambasted.

I’m so sorry to burst your bubble, but

(1) Steamboat Willie used to be an old man before he became a mouse. Walt stole and repurposed it

(2) Shih Tzus were invented 2000 years before an Ewok landed on Nandor to beat “Predator”

Call to action: Play #3QB via Facebook. Text me for the link or Email my secret email address you can find by googling…
