  If you are an Entrepreneur, how did YOU become one?

  I don't know really.... I"ve just always been doing my own thing. When I worked for companies it was just until I got things sorted out to start my own thing again.

  How to keep staffs happy?

  Well, probably a better place to start is to figure out your core values. What sort of person are you? What do you care about? What do you expect from people you want to work with? Figuring those out helps you better find people who share those values.

  People with shared values always work (and get along) better.

  Exclusivity of Advertising

  As a zero day startup I'd always advocate going for those early deals. You just learn that much faster. Obviously the key thing here is lock in. Are they looking to tie you up?

  VCs

  I guess a quick list of things I'd consider important:
  1. have a good business idea/plan
  2. have movement/momentum/traction
  3. start early and build relationships based on regular progress updates (even if the plan keeps changing)
  4. be prepared to spent a lot of time where the VCs are
  5. go in asking "so what's wrong with my business" not "why don't you love me"
