How to Get the Attention of a Venture Capitalist
At the Elite Retreat I gave an off-the-cuff answer to a question concerning getting the attention of venture capitalists. My buddy Wendy Piersall blogged about my answer, and it was a very popular. However, to truly help entrepreneurs, I’d like to provide a cogent list of the tips to get the attention of a venture capitalist.
Vocabulary
Learn one new word each day. In less than five minutes per day you can get amazing results. The average American learns only twenty-five new words each year and actually has a speaking vocabulary of five hundred words. One new word per day will mean that in one year you will have a distinct advantage over most people with whom you are dealing; within five years you will have a colossal advantage, not because you know the words but because those words give you a breadth and depth of understanding that will enrich your life in every way. Plus there is more good news: Every word has several buddies; when you learn one new word you’ve just expanded your vocabulary by several more.

The J-Squared Facebook Someday Millionaires
BusinessWeek has a fun article about my buddies Jesse and Joe from J-Squared Media titled Who wants to be a Facebook millionaire? Jesse and Joe were founders of one of the TechStars teams this summer – when they showed up their original idea was to create a sharing tools that would distribute links to your networks of friends (not in Facebook – on the web.) The Facebook Platform launched shortly after TechStars started and Jesse and Joe got all over it.
Change
Change can be good for you. In today's world of societal and corporate change, job security is a thing of the past. While we must face the fact that change is inevitable, we should also realize that many changes are positive and benefit both individuals and businesses.
Cardiovascular Cross training: Is It Important?
You change into your workout attire all the while contemplating another boring cardio workout. The same boring workout you have been doing for some time now. STOP...! It doesn’t have to be this way. You can do something different. Ever heard of cross training? Cross training is a fun and exciting way to not only spruce up your work outs, but to learn new and challenging skills, reduce risk of injury, maintain a consistent work out routine, achieve better results, and diversify your circle of sports buddies.
It's Never Too Late To Start
If you are an entrepreneur, you are investing most if not all of your waking hours into building your company. If you are also lucky enough to have a family on top of that, you join the many men and women who have struggled to balance work, parenting, and being a decent spouse. And after all the effort and time invested for years - maybe even decades, what do you discover?
Your On-Line Credibility Depends On Who You Hang Out With
It is vitally important who you hang out with and how you interact with people.
SEO Page Rank - It’s not about Who YOU Know… ...It’s About Who Knows YOU
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is part science and part magic. Well, maybe not REAL magic, but there is a lot going on behind the curtain that most folks never get to see. Scoring a Top 10 listing in Google requires a scientific approach towards getting a lot of little pieces set up correctly. And then there’s that hunk of magic. If we were to give that magic portion a name, it would be called “Page Rank (PR).” PR is the technical term for an unknown, unrevealed, unpublished “magic formula” that Google uses to measure a website's link popularity on a scale from 0-10. So how does Page Rank (PR) get calculated?

The New Age of Network Marketing, MLM and Downline Building Systems

Super Guru Mega Launches Are They All Just Scams
This morning sees the launch of another high-priced mega launch by another Internet Marketing Guru. As usual, one of my list members wrote me asking if they should purchase the product. Since these Guru mega launches occur like clockwork sometimes two and three times a week, I get this question a lot, and this is my answer.
An Entrepreneur and a Life To Be Remembered
Most of you who read this column probably have no idea who Corey Rudl was or what he accomplished during his short life, and that’s OK. You also have no idea of the imprint he made on me and millions of others who make our living (at least in part) as online marketers. Again, that’s OK. For all his accomplishments, those who knew him well have said that Corey was more concerned about building his businesses than being a public figure.

The Joy of Labor
This Labor Day, give thanks for the work you do, and the difference it makes. Celebrate your contribution to your community, and our world. And, if you are not doing the “perfect” job for you, pledge that by next year, you WILL be doing the right work. Life is too short to spend it doing work for which you are not suited or passionate! You owe that to yourself and to the world. We need your best stuff, your best effort, your passion and your unique genius.

Being Prepared Small Things Can Make a Difference
Often a big event "falls over" at the last hurdle, because of just one little thing that we failed to prepare for. This happened to me recently, and the lesson is - make lists! Even for the most mundane activity, lists can be the difference between success and failure. Read on.............
Making Sense of Customer Value
Your business could be worth much more than you think! Understanding the true value of your customer, can give you valuable information about what you might spend on both retaining existing customers and acquiring new ones.
Changing Gears
One thing is true; if you keep doing what you always have done you will keep getting the same results. Whether you are achieving what you want or not, it is always important to understand what is driving the present results. What is causing your current performance? What can be done to make it even better or eliminate any obstacles or distractions? Is the problem internal meaning is it your attitude or bad habit, or is it external or is it external such as money, other people etc. One thing is for sure, we choose the circumstances we find ourselves in, whether it be the work environment or relationships. The good thing is that when we acknowledge our power of choice, we also empower ourselves to change the situation.

Counterpoint: Patents and Defensibility

Doing it the HP Way: How Hewlett and Packard Rose to Success
The story of Hewlett and Packard has become legendary throughout Silicon Valley: two guys who started off in a small garage with just a few hundred dollars go on to create the largest IT company in the world. How did they do it? How did these two college buddies work their way out of the garage and into the homes and offices of consumers around the world?

Managing Employee Use of Social Media
The use of social media has exploded in the last few years and it's clear that it isn't going away anytime soon. While it may have started as a way for people to connect socially online, it's now a big part of business as well. But this huge growth in social networking and media sites presents yet another management problem - how can employers ensure their employees are focusing on their jobs and not spending all day in the office checking their status updates and finding old college buddies online?
Is your Social Network involvement a plus or a disaster waiting to happen?
: Every day men and women from around the globe join Social Networks because they "heard" it's necessary to join in the social network craze. Although Social Networks can be a great way to connect with family, friends, colleagues, current clients, potential clients and high school buddies they can also be a complete waste of time and a open invitation for trouble we often don't think about.

Inspirational Leadership Is Learned When It's Lived
I learned one of my life's most powerful lessons in inspirational leadership when I was almost 19, serving as the newspaper editor for the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division. If any of my old buddies are out there, they might confirm this anecdote with a comment or two.

Thank God For Godless Communism
Though many so-called progressives would love to separate them, from my point of view there are two other continua which march more-or-less in lockstep with communism-capitalism. These are statism-liberty, and atheism-faith. If I correctly remember my eighth-grade history (a subject which is, due to the progressivism currently under discussion, no longer much taught), capitalism has as its running-buddies individual liberty and faith in God. Communism's pals, in stark contrast, are authoritarian control of individuals by the state, and denial of the Almighty in favor of an allegiance to the state that amounts to idolatry.

Virtual Accountability Partners
In this world of online living, meeting friends – or even mates – online is no longer outside the mainstream. We make little distinction between online buddies and those who live across the street. And we often feel more connected to these virtual friends than we do with the people we encounter in person. It makes sense to reach out to your online connections when looking for an accountability partner.

Cling On, Bitter Clingers!
If we're going to borrow billions of bucks from our buddies in China and send those bucks to Egypt, I would rather we sent them directly to individual Egyptians and God-fearing Muslims... perhaps they have some bitter clingers in their own small towns who don't yet have a Walmart Super Center and could really use some of our money. Let them start businesses and make investments... after all, the U.S. government will tell you it's perfectly OK for anyone to make profits and build wealth, as long as they're not doing that in America....
