On my most important ones I spend as much time figuring out what to cut out as I do putting into the writing of it. Many people write email without a “call to action” or reason they’re writing the email. Write to one person at a time. This is critical and was the reason I sat down to write this post.

I write a bit more about how entrepreneurs can protect their ideas here: Spilling The Beans. Analogy – As readers of this blog know, I enjoy drawing connections between seemingly disparate people, historical events and pop culture minutia because it is entertaining and can facilitate learning. Timing and luck also play a role.

It’s not hard to find people willing to write the narrative that “venture capital is not an asset class” or “venture capital has performed terribly.” I hope to publish that deck and a full write up in the next 10 days in partnership with Dan Primack at Fortune (if my write up doesn’t suck, I guess ;-)).

I worked with an entrepreneur who was to appear at a startup networking event where he was to talk about his company’s plans. He considered pulling out of the event because he wanted to stay in “stealth mode&# and felt an event like this compromised him. A funding announcement is a stand-alone event.

With all these companies vying for attention & others just here to soak up the vibe I thought I’d write a much broader piece on how startups can make the most of their attendance at conferences & events. Be very targeted in which events you attend. Plan out your most important events to attend.

In addition, the discipline of producing it, like writing a business plan, will help you immensely in understanding the key elements that drive you and your business. I often hear the excuse that writing a book takes precious time away from building and running your business, which you cannot afford.

So I thought I’d write a piece on how not to suck when you give a presentation. is there a theme for the event? Be unique / memorable - Remember that at most speaking events you have a ton of other speakers – most who are exceedingly boring. If you write sentences you’ll read them and you’ll … suck.
