Founders, I’m honored and humbled Re #1 in entrepreneurship education at SXSW.<\/p>\n
I love witnessing the first couple steps we take. I write daily as a cathartic practice. Writing my ‘morning pages’ is something I got mentored from the book, the “Artists Way”. Mostly I jot down founder’s notes in this blog on WordPress. It’s my friend Matt’s content platform.<\/p>\n
As engineering co-founders-to-be, do what I did Re sell.<\/p>\n
Do what Paul Graham and Mark Cuban recommend you to do. Sell Here I regurgitate another “bit.ly” https:\/\/bit.ly\/mcuban710<\/a> In my office hours, I “get out of the building” and meet you in a swank hotel lobby while a tech conference is going on https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/19\/3-small-steps-to-build-your-sales-muscle-as-an-engineer\/<\/a><\/p>\n Remember, when you and two other people both ace engineering and ace the three blog posts up above…, you are moving UP. And to the right. y-axis is Sales Ability x-axis is Tech Expertise An example of “up and to the right” is a team of CS majors that all code and all promote. Y axis is promotion and distribution. X-axis is what your major in engineering taught you. https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/03\/on-the-y-axis-is-sales-ability-on-the-x-axis-is-tech-expertise\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Larry Chiang Founders, I’m honored and humbled Re #1 in entrepreneurship education at SXSW.

\nPaul Graham said a lot about promotion. I’m quoting an entire passage by spitting out a “bit.ly” https:\/\/bit.ly\/pgrahamCh6<\/a> Mark Cuban reinforces sales as an ENGR 145 skill<\/p>\n
