I bet you are wondering what this saying has to do with being an entrepreneur?  Well, according to Scott Ferber, founder of Advertising.com, a lot.  Scott was the featured guest at last night’s sold out Face2Face dinner.  He spent a few hours with a dozen GBTC member tech executives sharing his story - Ad.com, what happened after the sale, teaching at UVA  and his current venture, TidalTV.

Key take aways from the evening besides Bears, Bulls are Hogs were:
1. Surround yourself with the right people - limp along without an employee rather than hire the wrong one.

2. Always be a mensch

3. Persistence - 1,000 no’s before you get a yes

4. If you need $1.5 million ask for $10 million and you’ll get $1.5.

It was a great night.  Thanks to Scott’s candidness and humor it was one of the best Face2Face’s yet!  See what others had to say: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=gbtc
