11 Ways to Get Rockstar Startup Advice

startup advice

Decisions... Photo by Un ragazzo chiamato Bi

Have you ever wished you had access to experienced startup advisors that could help you with what you’re trying to achieve?

We’ve all been there – working on a project of some description – at some point one of the inevitable questions pop into our heads:
– Am I doing this right?
– What do I do next?
– Why do Starbuck’s cinnamon swirls taste so much better than everywhere else’s?

Trouble is a lot of the time there isn’t the right person around to help you.

Those of you who follow my blog will remember that one Friday night a few months ago, I got a little excited. A new service called Clarity had just gone into Beta that allows you to speak direct to an expert about a problem you’re having. Advice for entrepreneurs -> instantly

That night I spoke to Eric Ries, Andrew Chen and a few others about the startup I was working on (If you missed it here’s that post). Make no mistake, these are some of the top startup advisors any startup in the world could hope for. I think the ability to do this is a HUGE advantage – having access to people who have achieved what you’re trying to achieve, can really increase your chances of success

Further down this post I’ll show you how you too can talk to these and other advisors right now. Some for free, and most of them for under $10.

Most obviously, Howard is great marketer. He knew which channels we should try, when we should try them, how we analyse and how to react to them….as a result we sold a lot of tickets. Which was obviously great for us.

Escape Velocity was a game changer for us. The biggest impact on us was that it gave us clear direction of what we need to achieve. It has really massively impacted on my life and given me the clear direction and the sort of tools to manage my business.
