(COMIC) New Years Jeers: Startup Resolutions for the Clueless Entrepreneur

It’s that time of the year again. You’ll see a million posts and articles about what to do and how to make this new year more productive.  In the midst of all the hacks to stay on track, we want to share with you what the clueless entrepreneur is planning for this year.

  1. Last year, the clueless entrepreneur was all talk, with nothing to back it up with.  So this year, the clueless entrepreneur will be dialing it down a bit, peppering in a little work to change the “fluff to stuff” ratio.
  2. The clueless entrepreneur wants to be the brand he/she has created. “Be the brand” to them is to embody it, wear it, sleep with it, tattoo it – yet it is irrelevant what the customer thinks. 
  3. The clueless entrepreneur has seen that doing free work will result in sales. The clueless entrepreneur blindly and indiscriminately does free work for anyone who needs it. 
  4. The clueless entrepreneur loves the word ‘pivot’. Throwing it around sounds deliciously cool.  
  5. “Faking it” is music to a clueless entrepreneur’s ears as he/she doesn’t have too substance to take their business to the next level. 

A very happy new years to everyone! Cheers to no more clueless entrepreneurs!

Any other clueless resolutions we missed?  Have you made any of the mistakes that the clueless entrepreneur did?

  6. As always, Kirti you bring a good cocktail of creativity and humor to the community! Thanks for wearing the feather hat.

    on a serious note, I recently wrote a post on new year’s resolution and why it doesn’t work and how habits will.

    Very interesting to note you posted it on Jan 7. usually the period where giving up on resolution begins ;)!

  7. Thanks Aparna! Enjoyed your write-up about habits! So true…

    Ah, I posted it on Jan 7th because the clueless entrepreneur is ALWAYS late to make resolutions!

    😉

    Enjoy!
