According to Alyson Shontell's material (which I'm not sure how you get ) :
Be a serial entrepreneurs - duh, keep doing it you'll eventually figure out how to do it well.
If you're going to a VC - your chances of getting the cash from him are higher if you failed with her money once
Be good at market timing - know which industry is going to take off and get in there..
Be funded by top-tier VC's
Get good ideas while you have a steady paycheck with a dinosaur:)

Book Reviews
Recent reads (sorry, no reviews) :
Up From Slaver (super book. Read it! Again and again and again! It's all about starting from rags and right definition of riches. While I was in the other hemisphere, I saw some goffiti (government sponsored graffiti) : Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel - Socrates)
-- Booker Taliaferro Washington
Think Without Ink by Venkat - so, so - might up your game a little bit depending what you do - but, mostly, given that we've moved from the information age to the conceptual age, I'd say he can do with a rewrite - and so can the designers of India's CAT.
Oh, BTW, today I meets someone who works in the Sherrif's office and asks him if he's heard of David Lieberman's book "Now You Can Read Anyone", and he says yes. Said he made a lot of money working as a security consultant for companies in his spare time. Nice.

The Deadly P's
Stacy Kaiser's definitions (love em) :
Good pride :
good pride :
care about your work, results, reputation
look and perform at your highest level
keep from being abused and taken advantage of
bad pride :
I'm too good for this
I'm not giving this to you, because you don't give it to me
You did this, so I'm doing that
I'd rather win than give in
Bad power :
Winning is more important than peace
I don't have to listen to you
What I say should go. Period.
I don't care what you want as long as I get what I want.
I think people should read this chapter from Stacy's book once every couple of months..
