Start up distractions from Forbes (Start up Porn)

From Forbes | by Brent Benshore | October 2012

Here is a reprint of Benshores article entitled "Start up Porn"

He says that an entrepreneur is deluged by details, like you are in a middle of hurricane that need your attention.  Some of them are important, urgent, unnecessary, in this case just like porn. Like porn these stuff can distract you from your objective - to grow and make your venture profitable.

Some of them:

l.  Reading this article

2.  Posting rants in blog and letters to the editor;

3.  Comparing yourself to Mark Zuckerberg;

4.  Expensive calling cards;

5.  Reading your emails 20x a day

Other start up porns; it is a porn if you are addicted to reading this?
