One of my buddies,
when he started up his business,
was told he needed a fancy office space
so he could meet his fancy clients.
He couldn’t afford the space.
Instead, he rented a hotel meeting room.
Today, he still rents hotel meeting rooms
because he likes the focus
it gives him.
There are no interruptions.
All of his attention is on his client.
If you’re bootstrapping,
you likely won’t have the latest, greatest equipment,
the best office space,
or the most experienced staff.
That’s okay.
As hip-hop entrepreneur Daddy-O says,
use what you have.
“You ask any guitarist,
and they don’t want a crappy guitar.
But I guarantee you,
Flea plays just as well
on a sucky bass as a good bass,
because he learned to play
on a sucky bass.
Use what you’ve got,
and it will get you to the next level.”
