Several weeks ago serial entrepreneur Jason Calcanis put together a list of do’s and don’ts for starting up a company. Several of his points set off a huge firestorm in the echo chamber that is the blogosphere.
One of the followups that I did find of interest was a note from Robert Scoble who suggested that every entrepreneur should read: “The No Asshole Rule.”
While on the surface that seems like a no brainer it turns out that at least one guy has made bank by writing a treatise debunking this golden rule. For instance, see the recent FBN interview with Martin Kihn, author of: Asshole – How I Got Rich and Happy by not Giving a Damn About Anyone Else.
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em… right?
