People choose to self publish for many reasons: you have more control, you can set your price, you can decide on distribution, and mostly so you don’t have to wait many years to get an agent, find a publisher, and get released.

Silicon Beach Fest – Advice for Entrepreneurs

June 26, 2013 By

Silicon Beach Fest 2013One of the things I love about living in Los Angeles is the access to so many creative, inspiring, passionate business-minded people in the LA Start-up Scene. Entrepreneurs were out in full force at last week’s Silicon Beach Fest,  in Santa Monica, California. Presented by Digital LA, this is the second annual Santa Monica event … plus, they had a Hollywood mini-version last fall.

Below are excellent tweeted advice from #sbf 2013 … pay close to the first and last tweets. They are my favorites.

Holly Self ‏@iamhollyself @msuster – great prezo! Urgency, networking, tenacity  & real problem solving. 4 most important things you need as an entrepreneur. #sbf

Julian Tyler ‏@JulianTyler The value of an event like #SBF is more than its revenue, the real value is in what people get out if it and what it does for the community.

Digital LA ‏@DigitalLA Great entrepreneurs must: accept and overcome failure, be fit, support each other, says Nely Galan, noon keynote #SBF

Alexa Roman ‏@calexity You don’t need to be a developer to get it done. Move fast and make the impossible possible. @EspreeDevora‘s advice for#startups #sbf
