Follow up to my Rant

I’ve been somewhat out of the loop for the past couple weeks, for reasons which I will go into soon, but I’m taking a few minutes this morning to catch up on my feeds. I found a few intersting posts about the rediculousness of this panic and gloom:

• Seth Godin, my man. He usually manages to inspire me or to articulate significantly better what it is I am trying to get at. In this case he writes a post “Too Small To Fail” - Read it its great
• Howard Lindzon, new to me from a blogging perspective but I’ll be back for certain.  He also wrote a post “To SMALL to Fail!!!“  - Read it.

Most important to me in all of this was his comment on the rediculously obvious message some VC’s were sending to their portfolio in the midst of this crisis.

No offense, but get over yourselves.

If you have a good business, these letters are ridiculous in the timing. Maybe force them to read this letter upon funding and make them memorize it, but at this point, it reeks of panic and fear.

Now Mr Lindzon is in a much better position to say this than me, because as he says “they’re rich, and I’m not.”

Say what you want about Joe Biden he has a good quote: “Champ, when you get knocked down, get up. Get up.”

Thats what this country has to do right now - Get Back Up. I’ve no doubt we can do it.
