I have to give the nod to Rand on this point. If you aren’t passionate about what you’re doing the tough times will crush you. When $$ is your only motivation then it is far too easy to move on to the next $$ making scheme/company when times get tough. You may end up missing out on what could end up being a great success if you’d only stuck with it and grew the company. Of course the flip side is there are way too many dreamers who drink the cool-aid and don’t realize they can’t possibly succeed b/c there is no money to be made, period.
Wow, MSN finally won a contest with Google and all it took was ponying up for a valuation of $15 billion. Looks like I can throw out all my old finance books regarding company valuation as a percentage of future earnings ;)
Nice to see Yahoo pushing the envelope for once with the Search Assist feature, the rest of the developments are nice but really just getting them back on par with Google. Still all in all a welcome upgrade.
Good thing Rand has a sense of humor, this one is hilarious. Nice one Joe.
