Serial Entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal on Turning Obstacles into Opportunities

A step-by-step guide to getting your videos ranked

So here is Patrick McKenzie’s brilliant talk at Business of Software 2011 on engineering your marketing outcomes. Marketing comes naturally to some people. Unfortunately, few of them go on to found software companies. Patrick talks about types of marketing that use engineering skills and won’t be rabidly opposed to your developers. Instead of spending a few weeks cranking out one more feature that won’t be seen by 1% of your users and increase the value of your software by <1%, learn how you can use the same few weeks to create scalable systems that take much of the guesswork out of marketing.

If you can get past the interviewer, this conversation with David Chang of Momofuku fame is an entrepreneurial treasure trove of stories and perspectives on fear, failure, risk and the mythical genius chef.

WHY YOU SHOULD PAY PEOPLE TO HELP YOU LEARN STUFF: 

If you haven’t seen this talk yet, I wanted to make sure you did. One thing though: as you watch it remember it is not about a text editor or a new way to write code. There is a much larger statement being made so don’t get caught up in the “ain’t that cool” factor.

"The reason that most of us are unhappy most of the time is that we set our goals-not for the person we're going to be when we reach them-we set our goals for the person we are when we set them."

Warning: This talk contains optimism. And it’s contagious. Frank Chimero’s inspirational talk on the long, hard, stupid way. And why we all should pursue it.

in this video he talks as a founder of a fledgling start-up dealing with office supplies and payrolls. He implores his employees to regain the "start-up hustle." Good stuff.
