Reality Check by Guy Kawasaki January 28, 2009

Angel Legend RON CONWAY and Venture Capitalist, Blogger and Guru GUY KAWASAKI partner to bring you Reality Check.

“If the two most popular words in your company are partner and strategic, and partner has become a verb, and strategic is used to describe decisions and activities that don’t make sense” . . . it’s time for a reality check.

For nearly three decades, Guy Kawasaki has earned a stellar reputation as an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and irreverent pundit. His 2004 bestseller, The Art of the Start, has become the most acclaimed bible for small business. And his blog is consistently one of the fifty most popular in the world.

Now, Guy Kawasaki has compiled his best wit, wisdom, and contrarian opinions in handy book form. From competition to customer service, innovation to marketing, he shows readers how to ignore fads and foolishness while sticking to common sense practices. Join us about his thoughts on:

• How to get a standing ovation
• The art of schmoozing
• How to create a community
• The top ten lies of Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists
• Everything you wanted to know about getting a job in Silicon Valley but didn’t know who to ask
