Editor’s note: Veteran entrepreneur, blogger and author Joe Procopio offers what he calls the “final post in the final series for startup foundation concepts.” And a new book is forthcoming, he adds.

DURHAM, N.C. – A few months ago, I came up with The Grid, a five by five layout or map of what all my research and experience tells my what startup looks like. Then I started writing about each topic for Teaching Startup, with five concepts in each post.

It’s so nerdy, but that 5x5x5 is a cube, and it’s a perfect 3D map of everything you need to know about startup before you begin or when you’re in the thick of it.

Today, I posted the final piece — Five Reasons for Startup: Elimination. And it’s kind of a catch-all, but the universe needed a catch-all, because it’s inclusive and awesome and I didn’t want to leave anyone out.

A book is forthcoming, but right now we’re just working on making the show the best in can be. So while you’re over at Teaching Startup reading this, check out a couple episodes of The Show is well.

Even if you’re not an entrepreneur and you never will be, this stuff is good for your soul.
