The Top Entrepreneurs Lies

Guy Kawasaki has a blog entry with some of the top entrepreneur lies. A lot of these will be true for intrapreneurs as well. Here goes:

1. "Our projections are conservative."
2. “Gartner says our market will be $50 billion in 2010.”
3. “Boeing is going to sign our purchase order next week.”
4. “Key employees are set to join us as soon as we get funded.”
5. “No one is doing what we're doing.”
6. “No one can do what we're doing.”
7. “Hurry because several other venture capital firms are interested.”
8. “Oracle is too big/dumb/slow to be a threat.”
9. “We have a proven management team.”
10. “Patents make our product defensible.”
11. “All we have to do is get 1% of the market.”
12. Robert Scoble adds one, "We don’t need a blog, we’re working on a Superbowl commercial".

Number #2 is my favorite! Whats yours?
