Things I've Said This Week #schizophrenic #startup #founder

Since we started accepting private beta users onto planzai.com, momentum has been building, and with it the number of interesting conversations, diverging thought processes, disagreements and collective epiphanies. This last week has been particularly hectic. 

As you do, i was in the shower this morning reflecting on the things i've heard myself saying and other things people have said to me.... validation, if any were needed of how much fun founding a new app can be... ;-)

We need seed money to prove the concept. / We can fund this out of revenue.

We need to get to revenue before investment. / We have revenue!

This isn't a good investment opportunity. / Your opportunity has significant potential.

That breaks our model. / That validates our model. / That's a completely new model.

It needs to happen today. / Ok, Friday is fine.

Go for the revenue. / That deal is too small.

No, it isn't a project management system. / Well, yeah you could manage your own projects.

Good idea, we hadn't thought of that. / Good idea, that's already in our roadmap.

He just didn't get it. / He completely got it!

We need to focus. / Our focus is too narrow.

This will never work. / We can do this!

 

Anyone else out there have a similar experience?
