3 Reason's I'm A Crazy Entrepreneur

Oh, I am so dead. I'm going to get my ass kicked in the Venture Deals class I'm taking this summer with Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson at Kauffman Fellows Academy. I was pretty sure I was going to find crazy treps like me. It's kinda turning out, like I'm the crazyiest one of the 298 students.  Here I am going over all the student profiles and everyone seems pretty darn NORMAL, and so professional. Not me. Here is a list of my reasons.

  1. When filling out the personal info and bio page, normal people put professional sounding statements, like I worked at Google, Twitter, and Facebook. I however put: "My employers have been many, some boring, some repetitious, some inspiring, some hard labor, most all social, some shocking, some disappointing and for me to list them would cause a person to think of me differently than I really am". Okay, I didn't want to put, I wipe ass for a living. That doesn't make me look so professional.
  2. List your academic institutions. Normal people put, University of Oklahoma, Harvard, University of Texas etc. I put:I've been to almost every college in the Denver metro area, every decade of my life and never graduated” What good would it do me to list all of them, if I never completed? I went to college, I learned some things. 
  3. When people put bio information down, they keep it simple and hardly reveal a thing about themselves. Crazy people write all kinds of info, making themselves look crazier. Okay, I went in and deleted my whole entire rambling bio and put this:
     

    Bio

Our assignment this week is to start or join a team. I started a team. I kind of think, no one is going to join my team. I think I'm way crazier than all these fine students. Ahhh well, I can't take that part out of me, it's what makes me, me. It's what fuels my creativity, my ability to see things others cannot. It's what drives me to build startups. But yeah, when I see how all the people fill out the profiles in a professional way, and mine is completely the opposite, well the thought I should be locked up crosses my mind. ; - )
