Quora raises millions (both dollars and questions). Facebook buys WhatsApp for billions. Uber gets another trillion in investment and is now “worth” a quintillion. Or a brazillion. Who knows? The news in the entrepreneurial scene, especially in tech, is usually loud and involves big numbers. It is so easy to get swept up in this frenzy that I’ve seen many a business builder spend more time at events than on making his or her own company something worthwhile. And goodness knows I’ve been there too.
