Obvi, when you’re really good looking and have a really large brain, you go to civil war with yourself. A lot. Questions like, “Should I go to New York Fashion Week in NYC or TechCrunch Disrupt in SF?”, used to tear me apart. I’m a civil war expert.

Civil War casualty rate is what Silicon Valley experiences, STILL. My duck ch9 bk (bankruptcy) video (https://bit.ly/buster14512w) has been live since my ENGR145 lecture 4 years ago this month
Zero. Needle. Movement.
There has NOT been a noticeable change in the startup survival rate.

To my surprise, DISNEY is doing a movie on “female entrepreneur, internal CIVIL WAR”
It’s called “INSIDE OUT”
When you fight you….
You will lose.

Just think. What if all five female co-founders didn’t fight!? Apologies Bill, but you’re playing a woman
Ok, this whole blog post sounded like I was joking (because I understand internal-strife-leading-to-startup-death subject matter so well that I
– had time to make it funny
– had time to simplify it
– had time to make it hilarious
– had time to make it hiLarryAss)
It sounds like I’m joking when I say, “NEVER never go to civil war with yourself”
ENGR 145 had teams that would fight over internal deliverables. The e145 teams that got to the right side of the bell curve focused on EXTERNAL DELIVERABLES
These five authors had ideas that were at war.
Then I wrote “The Fifth Epiphany”
Women mentoring other women sometimes is civil war-like
Me and this 9 year old do not fight over a foul ball in section 113. See how we verbally worked it out (and Chris learned a valuable entrepreneurship lesson!)
No civil wars between 9 year-olds.
