They are good in starting things but often poor in completing the things they've started.<BR/><BR/>I can see a danger when a guy with this personality is getting the idea of starting his own company and take the role as CEO.<BR/><BR/>Valdi's idea of selling a Linux laptop with low-end specs and distributing it through a lean organisation is a GREAT IDEA in itself in my opinion. Linux is less demanding in terms of CPU power and memory and overall the specs of the Celebrity were reasonable and the timing is perfect.<BR/><BR/>So his IDEA was GREAT...but EXECUTION was INCREDIBLE BAD.<BR/><BR/>So my advice to you Valdi: <BR/><BR/>Next time he start something you need to partner with people who have EXPERIENCE in EXECUTION and set the price at a realistic level where actual earnings are possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-43850184304250646772007-09-17T17:23:00.000+02:002007-09-17T17:23:00.000+02:00Guys, there won't be press release.

You have started many ventures, but you lack the skill of bringing the projects to a close.<BR/><BR/>I am not writing this to make you sad Valdi, even though it is some hard facts! But, the reason I am doing it is that I know that the only way you can be "fixed" is if you realize that the game is over (and it has been for some time). <BR/><BR/>Go back to school, or take a job in a grossery store ... you owe your wife and your child that.
