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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Civil war casualty was 620,000

Civil War casualty rate is what Silicon Valley experiences, STILL. My duck ch9 bk (bankruptcy) video (https:\/\/bit.ly\/buster14512w<\/a>)\u00a0<\/span>has been live since my ENGR145 lecture 4 years ago this month<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To my surprise, DISNEY is doing a movie on “female entrepreneur, internal CIVIL WAR”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nIt’s called “INSIDE OUT”<\/div>\n

\nWhen you fight you….<\/div>\n

You will lose.<\/div>\n

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<\/div>\n
– had time to make it funny<\/div>\n
– had time to simplify it<\/div>\n
– had time to make it hilarious<\/div>\n
– had time to make it hiLarryAss)<\/div>\n
It sounds like I’m joking when I say, “NEVER never go to civil war with yourself”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ENGR 145\u00a0had teams that would fight \u00a0over internal deliverables. The e145 teams that got to the right side of the bell curve focused on EXTERNAL DELIVERABLES<\/span><\/div>\n

No civil wars between 9 year-olds.<\/div>\n
