We all need goals right? And why not a goal that gets me off my butt.

I’m making this commitment public to keep myself honest.

Here’s another site in the same vain as failblog. Super-funny stuff.

Thanks to my cousin Dave for the link.

Get a first life

So funny.

I have to post this. I spent about an hour tonight in tears laughing so hard at what I found on this site. Super funny stuff.

Here’s a great post to read for anyone who’s interested in technology entrepreneurship.

It’s titled “Postmortem”. And it’s all about the the lessons learned from the experience of trying to get GameClay off the ground.

It’s probably counter-intuitive to many people, but failure is one of the things I really like to see on the resume of an entrepreneur. Nothing educates like failure.

Anyone who’s got the drive and tenacity to stick with a startup long enough to call it a failure doesn’t like to fail. They’re driven to succeed.

Failing is one thing. Failing, dusting yourself off, getting back out there an doing it again is something that only entrepreneurs who have what it takes to succeed will do. Someone who’s failed over and over again and continued to get back out there with a new idea is someone with a lot to teach about what not to do.

So, despite the end of GameClay, the experience of starting it clearly taught a lot to it’s founders. And that article is a great digest of some of the main lessons they learned.

Just a good reminder. Every good idea needs a champion.

Here are 100 reasons why.
