Calacanis: the Tony Robbins of Web 2.0 — mathewingram.com
I’ve read through his newsletter several times and extracted some of those key lessons:
- People are scared, and they should be.
- Metaphors swing both ways.
- Sometimes it’s really, really stupid to keep fighting.
- The darkest hour is, in fact, right before the dawn.
- If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, go see a professional.
- Feel free to print this out.
- You need to access where you’re at, and fight on.
- If you fail, then by definition you have tried.
- If your idea is wrong, it really doesn’t matter.
- The market will tell you what it wants.
- Execute better.
Really, these just scratch the surface of what you’re going to find in Jason’s missive. There’s so much gold in there, it’s like Fort Knox or something.
