Being an entrepreneur is hard. Having supportive and caring investors helps.

If you want to create something great and do it faster than the competition, you need to be action oriented.

It's not easy for an entrepreneur to find the time to blog. But for those who do it, it is a great tool to communicate with the various stakeholders in their business and build a reputation for thought leadership.

Investing in management means building communication systems, business processes, feedback, and routines that let you scale the business and team as efficiently as possible.

I'm really interested in the intersection between reputation, identity, and knowledge.
