Customers are great. If you don’t think so, you’ll never succeed. Surprisingly, a lot of people consider their customers to be “the enemy” or a nuisance they’re forced to deal with.
Just remember that customers:
Without customers you don’t have a business. It’s as simple as that.
The latest addition to the Standout Jobs team was Alain Wong, who joined us late last year for the big push to DEMO 08. I knew Alain was a world-class dancer, but I didn’t realize he was a hardcore biker as well. Turns out he isn’t…but he will be biking from Vancouver to Tijuana, Mexico for a great cause.
Alain is joining the folks at Agents of Change for the 3,000km bike trip to raise money for the AOC’s micro-credit fund.
Blitzweekend is coming up this weekend, and I’ve been asked to speak on Friday, February 29th. Looks like I’ll be doing the first presentation of the evening around 6pm.
Blitzweekend is a great event for entrepreneurs and soon-to-be entrepreneurs that want to test their mettle in a weekend of coding. Can you build an application in a weekend? It’s time to find out!
Blitzweekend runs all weekend with a variety of great presenters and activities. I’m sure everyone will enjoy it. And I think anything that brings the startup community together is a good thing, especially if it succeeds at interesting people at the University level (where things are lacking the most.)
In the meantime, I have a presentation to prepare. Hope to see you there!
Location: 1 rue St-Charles, Longueuil, in front of the Longueuil metro station.
Blitzweekend will take all the ground floor of Université de Sherbrooke’s Longueuil campus.
I recently joined GoInstant as VP Product. GoInstant changes how we use the web, making it shareable like never before.
