EntriesAdvancement and Asparagus
August 26th, 2008Yesterday, I was reading a little bit of a commentary by Augustus about his rule during Pax Romana, and I was struck by a phrase that described PBwiki sales over the last few days. The phrase was : “velocius quam asparagi coquantur”, which means: “faster than cooking asparagus”. Although Augustus was describing the manner in which he restored order and harmony after his uncle’s assassination, he could have been describing the way that start-ups need to grow.
So, the next time you bite into some steamed asparagus, think about how fast you are making strides in your business and ask yourself, “What more could I do today to grow my start-up?”
Hilarious. I love it.
