If you’ve ever done anything challenging (i.e. anything worthwhile), then you’ve most certainly reached a moment in time where you wanted nothing more than to scrap the whole idea. Maybe it was the time you were training for a marathon. Or taking a class a bit over your head. Or – starting a company.
You know the deal: the software wasn’t delivered on time, a vendor flaked, or maybe the revenue isn’t exactly where it should be.That’s where American Underdog comes in. These guys are the one resource every entrepreneur needs when things look a little bleak. They remind you that even the most successful entrepreneurs, at some point, felt they were out matched. The solution? Remind you of your own brilliance and refuel you with the two main ingredients needed for success: inspiration and knowledge.
Check out their site and maybe even register to win the new Apple iPad. And, if that’s not enough, come hang with the peeps from American Underdog personally at Schmoozd and hear their inspirational stories and advice first hand. They want to talk it up.
So if you haven’t done it already – get your tix today. They’re going fast.
And don’t forget! Media Temple (mt) is buying the first round. How’s that for inspiration?
