Entrepreneurialitis - Pitfalls in Startups
5 likes1,046 views
Entrepreneurialitis refers to the acute or chronic stupidity that can be induced by the stress of entrepreneurial activity. Some symptoms include believing you don't need to properly test your business model or bring in outside experts, and thinking you can succeed by doing things quickly and cheaply rather than properly. Entrepreneurs may convince themselves that changing plans constantly or sticking rigidly to the original plan are both strengths, and managers may prefer techniques they don't understand over ones that work.
