The Power of No!
No is a very powerful word! In fact, most of us don’t say it frequently enough, and/or with enough conviction.

Open Minds and Goal Setting
I was taught 25 years ago that a pure scientist has the most open of minds. The reason being quite simple in that unless you’ve conducted an experiment and developed proof one way or the other, how do you know it to be true or not. I was also informed by a scientist that I met on an airplane many moons ago that unless it gets funded it probably won’t be explored. But that’s another story.

Do CEO\'s Overcompensate for Their Strengths?
As I sit in the Seattle airport waiting to board my delayed flight to Anchorage (Dear Alaska Airlines: Since it’s a “mechanical delay”, please feel free to delay it as long as you want until you are absolutely sure the airplane works), I was pondering a conversation I had at the very end of Gnomedex with an entrepreneur that I’d met for the first time.
New Beginnings
An airplane uses up to 90% of it’s power on the take-off, but once it gets to cruising height, around 36,000 to 41,000 feet, it only uses around 65% of it’s power. Like getting fit; getting fit is tough, but staying fit is easier. This applies to learning a new skill or starting a new venture, if you’ll excuse the pun.
Lesson #1: Stick With It
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it,” said Ford.
Six a day, six days a week
Need a basic but realistic recipe for a balanced diet? Go for six ‘airplane-sized’ meals a day, six days a week (no, not the size of an actual airplane…but the size of the meals they serve you on board).
SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESS INCORPORATING TECHNIQUES TO RAISE CAPITAL
Up to now funding for start-up and small business is practically non-existence other than if you want to count a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan, good luck with that. The following are recommended techniques for financing your start-up or small expanding business. First we start by making a practical and factual statement. That statement is simply that there are no free rides, i.e. do not expect to take advantage of someone else’s resources without paying fees.
Control is an Illusion
The reality is that we can’t control our environment; the economy, our buyers, families, partners or neighbors, the waiter at the restaurant, the valet with our car or airplane mechanic fixing the problem. Often we can’t even control ourselves.
Improvement Planning for Taking Charge of Change
Effective learning and capability development doesn't happen just because we want it to. For example, empowering without enabling isn't just foolish it's unethical. It's like putting a complete novice at the controls of a clunky old airplane and "empowering" him or her to land in the middle of a ferocious thunderstorm.

In Leadership Character Trumps Competence
We live in a society that thrives on 15-minutes-of-fame thrill rides. Reality shows like The Apprentice, where Donald Trump baits and then summarily fires contestants, dominate TV ratings. These shows frequently glorify the bad behavior that seems to be slowly, but surely, seeping into our society. The 24-hour news cycle is an endless stream of stories about leaders who have been caught doing bad things. In the midst of this barrage it is easy to lose faith that leaders can actually do good and serve others; that men and women of character still exist.

Can I Safely Use a Laptop on a Plane or Shlould I Leave it at Home
Exposure to cold, heat or radiation will quickly damage the fragile electronics and data organized in a laptop. Your laptop may very well be influenced by some of these problems based upon the laptop and airplane model and final destination. So if you never really need to take your laptop away on the plane trip, then leave it in your own home.
