Fred Luddy started ServiceNow, a Multi-Billion Dollar Unicorn, as a solo entrepreneur bootstrapping with a paycheck.
Fred shared his early entrepreneurial journey with me in great depth.
Since 2006, I have spent thousands of hours interviewing successful entrepreneurs. Listening. Asking questions. Understanding. Extrapolating. Learning about their mistakes. Capturing their lessons from the trenches.
I encapsulated their anecdotal knowledge into Methodology. You can access it through One Million by One Million (1Mby1M), my global virtual accelerator for tech startups.
I have been running 1Mby1M since 2010 from Silicon Valley. Our unwavering mission has been to democratize entrepreneurship education, incubation and acceleration.
Over the years, I have done case study after case study of how extraordinarily successful entrepreneurs have, indeed, started their entrepreneurial journey by bootstrapping with a paycheck.
Bills HAVE to be paid.
A first-time entrepreneur’s journey involves a steep learning curve.
Why not learn from people who have done it already, before jumping in with both feet and giving up your source of income?
If you are thinking about starting a venture of your own, I recommend Bootstrapping with a Paycheck.
You can join 1Mby1M Basic, and everyday, spend a couple of hours with a successful entrepreneur. Listening to one or two of my in-depth interviews.
It’s like having coffee with two experienced entrepreneurs who explain how to put one foot before the other.
Education and Inspiration would flow effortlessly.
You would save a lot of time by avoiding common mistakes.
Try it. Let me know how it goes.
