Entrepreneurialism
Last week in the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal there was an article on James Gutierrez. Gutierrez is the co-founder of Progreso Financiero, which he started in 2005.

You Read it, You Like it, What Are You Doing About It?
As you can imagine, as an author, I have people recommending books to me all the time (or, just as commonly, asking me, "Have you read?". Most of them are business books; the "flavor of the week" phenomenon is alive and well. I seldom read them, to be honest. If I read every business book someone recommended to me, I wouldn't have time to make a living. However, I recently made an exception.
Creative Abrasion and the Sales Knowledge Activist
I don't know enough. Not enough about my customers & prospects, or their customers, prospects, suppliers, partners and competitors. I don't know enough about the objectives, strategies, requirements, problems or people of any of those groups. I don't even know enough about how my own products and services - either alone or combined with other products and services - can address the issues of my customers and prospects. Eeesssssshhhhh... (Guess what? You're in the same boat!)

Is Your Creativity Supported or Stifled at Work?
Creative expression should be honored and valued in the workplace.
Publicity is Priceless!
How do newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations get their news? How can they possibly know about Silicon Valley’s latest product; the promotion of Bob Smith at the Acme Company; the results of experiments conducted at Rutgers; a new book published by an unknown author or the date of the local Rotary Club’s pancake breakfast? Obviously, they don’t have reporters everywhere, all of the time. They rely on individuals, companies or the government to send them a Press Release.
