(This essay was originally published on my website www.terrygold.com a few years ago) Don’t Worry, It’s Normal I’ve started a list of things no one tells you when you start a business. Topics include: Am I doing enough? That you will feel so overwhelmed that you can’t move. That Being an entrepreneur is like being on a roller coaster 24 hours a day. When you start a company it is consuming and on your mind most of the time. And my favorite, Lessons will be repeated until learned. All this and more next . . . |
Doing the Right Thing
This essay was originally published a few years ago on my website, www.terrygold.com. At my company Gold Systems we often talk about doing the right thing. I’ve tried to explain what doing the right thing means to me in this essay. After being in business for almost fourteen years, I’m sure there are people who don’t believe I’ve always followed this principle. I’ve done my best though.

Brad Feld has been after me for awhile to jump on the blog bandwagon. Since he was the guy who got me to build my first website, www.terrygold.com it is appropriate that he got me into blogging. It was J.B. Holston, the CEO of Newsgator who pushed me over the edge though by convincing me that there was more to this than just a million voices rambling on about trivial subjects. Sounds like the beginning of the web, and that turned out to be pretty signficant.
So my first task is to figure out how to move my personal website to my blog. My first observation is that this is still not an easy thing to do, but I expect that companies like Newsgator are going to make blogging a lot more accessable and that this really could be The Next Big Thing.
