An update on this blog.

Initially I wanted to keep this as a pseudo diary to keep track of my journey through entrepreneurship. So far, I have written 44 entries. That is pretty good.

#041 - Coffee is for closers

Sales has always been an anomaly to me. The way it is depicted in media, television, and movies makes it seem like it involves the scummiest people and always ends up with a loser. The salesman is usually wearing a fancy suit, perfectly quaffed hair, and a bunch of material
