Few days ago I was reading interesting article with which I completely disagree. Author of this article said: “Don’t Hire Frontend or Backend Webdevs”. Oh come one! It’s stupid.
Your business is not worth anything if you don’t have clients. Almost anything what you will read in business books, articles and any other business resources is not worth anything, if you don’t have clients. You need them and their money. However is it really so important to do anything what they want? Is it true that they are the most important?
There are some sins of entrepreneurs, such as being a project manager, not an entrepeneur or building a one-person company. However… there are also some mortal sins of entrepreneurs. One of these sins is: delays in wage payments.
Most of not so advanced entrepreneurs think that projects, which they invented, are their kids. And that is true. However they also think that they have to think about them all day long. That they have to worry about them at night, that they are the best people to develop them and to manage them. And that is not true. I can say much more… stay away from them. You are the client!
People think that having a company is a really easy. That everybody can have a company, because it’s not a problem to manage a one-person company. That’s a bullshit! Setting up new firm is easy. Paying taxes is easy. Having company? No. Why? Because having a one-person company is a myth.
Few days ago I wrote about my guest post on interaktywnie.com about the contest ‘blog of the year 2009′ and why Polish firms don’t achieve success. Now I’d like to write about it here, however this time – in English.
Some great examples of infographics… traffic map, browser wars and building a company with social media.
