Comment on The myth of the serial entrepreneur

Great quote to finish: "It means you should not burn relationships, piss off people, take damaging shortcuts - because you're in this small world of entrepreneurship for a long time to come. It means you should always act as if your behaviour as a founder will be with you for the rest of your career - because it will." so true. Thank you!!

Funny I thought the same thing, I've been in business for almost 30 years now and I can still call people I worked with 25 years ago and they will work with me in an instant. The number of times I have looped back around and ran into the same people over and over is funny. Especially considering over time I have moved through many different industries.

The golden rule applies to to entrepreneurs too. Karma is a bitch and worth paying attention to in life as in business.

And even if you did[burn relationship, piss off people, take damaging shortcuts ], you will find the more intelligent people are apt to forgive. Making mistake in the past is no reason not to try again.

tit for tat with room for forgiveness
