Action! Spielberg Lights Up the Screen

It would be the first of many successful forays for Spielberg into the world of television, including directing episodes of the hugely popular Columbo. |

A Real Life View of PR

| Many mistakenly view PR as an emergency measure, a tool to be utilized during a crisis, or as a temporary supplement to a marketing campaign. In reality public relations is the most effective strategic business tool at your disposal.
You should be garnering media coverage within the second or third month, but an effective media relations is not something that you do for a couple of months, put in mothballs for a year. |

Lesson #3: Find Inspiration Around You
| |
| Despite his ability to create fantasy worlds and invent creatures the likes of which the world has never seen before, the secret inspiration behind Spielberg’s films is actually his everyday life. From his own childhood experiences to his current fatherhood role, Spielberg takes ordinary events and turns them into extraordinary tales. This is one of the key reasons why Spielberg’s films have been such a success. However out-of-this-world the stories he tells may be, there is always a unique simplicity in their messages. |

| |
| As a child, Armani would eagerly await the trips his family used to make from his small town of Piacenza to Milan just to catch one of the latest films that had been released. “At the beginning I loved westerns and Italian comedies, but later I fell in love with the neorealist films that inspired my good friend Martin Scorsese,” he says. “It was like being transported from the harsh reality of life in post-war Italy to this magical place. The stars were so glamorous and larger than life that I wanted somehow to share in that.” |

Put the Competition in the Rear View Mirror
| |
| Competitive assessment is one of the most powerful tools we have in our quiver. Yet IMHO so few companies actually assess the competition in a way that works. We spend time evaluating our competitor's technology foundations, comparing feature against feature. We look for every detail that we can use to prove that our technology is far superior to that of others. Too bad that having the best technology doesn't mean you win....or that having the most features doesn't guarantee customer success. If the best technology won, then today's industry giants wouldn't be so, um, giant, now would they?
Don't get me wrong. Understanding your competitor's technology and its capabilities is a worthwhile exercise. As long as you don't fall into the trap of defining your solutions based on their features - and become a follower.

Small Business Jobs & Credit Act: What’s in it for Small Business?
| |
| On September 27th, President Obama signed into law, the much awaited Small Business Jobs & Credit Act. I’ve been surprised by how little most small business owners seem to know about the provisions of this law and what is in it for them. The most highly publicized feature of the bill is the $30 Billion dollar small business loan fund. For many or most small businesses, this may be the least relevant feature of the law. Other features of the law include tax breaks for small to medium sized businesses, tax incentives for equity investors in small businesses and some significant changes in SBA lending programs. |
