Start-Ups

What is a startup? When does a startup get treated like a proper business and how long before startups become screw ups because of the startup mentality? Don't get me wrong, there's positives and negatives with being a startup but not all entrepreneurs are wise enough to know the difference or to even know how to capitalize on each. Big Businesses always talk about having a startup mentality in order to be agile...but low and behold, big business do not have constraints some startups have such as funding, resources, harvard qualified management structures, etc. Small businesses are not startups and startups are not small businesses. Its time for entrepreneurs to wake up and smell the chocolate, small world thinking in a big universe makes a mockery of the atmospheric potential.
