more about DavidA train is coming. Are you piloting the train, or are you on the tracks?
All startup’s CEOs are in one of these two positions. You are either driving innovation, or getting run over by it.
Many times a company evolves into a different line of business and deals with different customers than intended. I firmly believe this is because the CEO is driving innovation. With a changing economy, you have to find a way to adapt your company to new lines of business. You need to act fast, that train is coming.

When to bring in a partner
Many entrepreneurs are fearful of brining n a partner, or sharing equity in their companies. I too, have fallen victim to this same feeling in the past. So how do you get past it? One question should do the trick?
Would you rather own 100% of a $100,000 business? Or would you rather own 50% of a $500,000 business? The answer is very obvious.
