University of Texas Entrepreneurship Week, , will take place March 2, 2020 ~ March 17, 2020<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\"image1.jpeg\"UT Entrepreneur Week\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Nothing is set in stone yet. These dates are based on extrapolations from 2019<\/div>\n
How nearly everyone does #UTeWeek<\/a> is that they kinda half-ass it. People will chase celebs and free food. Students will avoid real work. Participants will not do extra homework. At best, they will attend a meeting to help organize <\/font>#UTeWeek<\/a> which means meetings talking about setting up more <\/font>#UTeWeek<\/a> meetings. <\/font><\/div>\n
Problem: #UTeWeek<\/a> is free and awesome. So people take it for granted. <\/font><\/div>\n
Solution. Pretend you paid $120,000 for #UTeWeek<\/a> and need to get your ROI Before day 1 of <\/font>#UTeWeek<\/a> which could occur as early as February 25, 2020<\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\"image2.jpeg\"Selling as a a Technical Founder\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Solution:<\/div>\n
Do what Bob Metcalfe mentors us to do. Learn sales. But try in private so that if you fail, it\u2019s a private failure between me and you. <\/div>\n
Sales!?<\/div>\n
Selling is at the heart of entrepreneurship. It\u2019s massively unpopular to teach because sales is emotionally hard. Selling makes you feel like a loser. <\/div>\n
Five things to try to sell before #UTeWeek<\/a> (preferably over thanksgiving or Christmas and ideally take under 7 hours. Think of it as a Pop Up Internship That\u2019s Self Study)<\/font><\/div>\n

\n<\/font><\/div>\n
To convince you that sales are important, the Starbucks founders sold Peets beans. <\/font><\/div>\n
