A bunch of entrepreneurs who spent too much time at conferences, meet-ups, mash-ups, etc., are now going to even more conferences to figure out what to do now that the part is over. I guess some people will avoid hard work any way they can.</p><p>My advice to anyone who is considering wasting their money on this is to save your money and instead focus on building a product someone will pay you for, then go convince people to pay you for it. Then repeat.</p><p>I am not surprised to see the usual list of conference knuckleheads speaking at this. But John Doehr and Ram? This is way, way beneath them.</p><p>Finally, shouldn't Calacanis be running his company after laying people off last week? I don't know how much longer Sequoia is going to put up with the "Community CEO" scam. Jason, I love you and all, but get to work.</p>Amy FulbrightTue, 28 Oct 2008 20:14:57 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2008/10/27/latest-addition-to-wednesdays-downturn-roundtable-toni-schneider/#comment-3353252<p>Step 1: Don't Spend $189 for a 1/2 day conference</p><p>Step 2: Don't Spend 1/2 of your day at a conference.</p><p>As a fellow Valley entrepreneur, let me say it's grow up time Silicon Valley. The days of sitting in conferences talking about business and chatting with your friends are over.</p><p>Now is the time to do the hard work of building a company or go home.</p><p>Seriously, aconference on how not to go out of business. The irony is painfully comedic.</p>Bob WTue, 28 Oct 2008 19:22:18 -0000
