Sloppy naming
If you've got more than one product or service, you have a problem. You need to decide if there's going to be an architecture to the way you name things. General Motors has a division, Chevrolet. Chevrolet makes cars, and each car has a name (Corvette, Impala). They have an architecture in place that makes some things clear very quickly.
Building the Perfect Board Package

How Leaders Cheat Others

YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANT MAKE HIM SELL OR CAN YOU
By Mike Schultz and John Doerr Recently, we presented to a group of firm leaders across a range of service areas on how to sell professional services. During the Q & A session, one leader of an engineering firm asked, “This is all great stuff, but how do you get them (my engineers) to sell? I mean, I have tried everything, but they still would rather do just about anything but sell.” Well, short of walking around with a large stick and a menacing attitude, we suggest you will inspire more of the professionals in your firm to sell by helping them get into the right frame of mind to become a rainmaker. It is not just a question of telling them to go out and sell; you need to take care of the following six areas to get the activity you want.

Resolving Needs - What Your Employees Wish For!
Sometimes in business, the big stuff gets the all the attention it needs - whilst the small stuff misses out. Yet it is the small stuff that your people live with day in, day out.

Software Development The Way GOD Does It
In the beginning God created the universe and filled it with objects. He gave each object a set of attributes and placed it in a particular location in the universe where it occupies some space. Each object has been given the ability to do some stuff and communicate with other objects around it by sending and receiving messages. An object is able to do some stuff by itself (including create other objects) but for other stuff it needs to send messages to other objects asking for help. And some stuff it can only do if it's asked to by other objects.
Successful People Treat Problems and Setbacks as Opportunities
Stuff happens: good stuff, bad stuff, frustrating stuff, and unexpected stuff. Most of it is out of your control. Successful people respond to the stuff that happens in a positive way. Humans are the only animals with free will. That means we -- you and me -- get to decide how we react to every situation that comes up. It's your choice. Successful people choose to respond to events proactively. They do what they can to make the best out of any situation in which they find themselves. Use them to become a better, more successful person.

Want Success? Take a Lesson From Lindsey Vonn
As you go through life, stuff will happen; good stuff, bad stuff, frustrating stuff, happy stuff, sad stuff, fortunate stuff, unfortunate stuff. Successful people choose to react to the stuff that happens -- especially the negative stuff -- in a positive way. Lindsey Vonn had some really bad stuff happen -- a deep bone bruise on her shin; and some lucky stuff -- the warm weather in Vancouver that delayed the women's downhill -- happen to her over the past couple of weeks. She did what she could with it. And what she did was pretty spectacular. The next time things get you down, think of Lindsey Vonn, do what you can to recover from circumstances and stay positive. Because that's what successful people do -- they choose to react positively to the negative people and events in their lives.
Online Videos … The Move to Entertain, Educate, Sell
If you're like us you're watching more of your TV over the Internet. Why not? No need to let some psycho at the network dictate what you watch and when. Funny thing is the ads even look better on the iNet. They're faster, crisper, more entertaining. Ok not all...some are long, boring, sloppy, crappy! All by ourselves we're going to change all that (yeah right) with some advice to those folks on how they can produce better videos that folks want to watch. If only a few listen maybe you'll want to begin a steady diet of marketing videos. Wouldn't that be great you watch the stuff then you go buy the stuff, the economy gets better, you miss more TV shows, watch more stuff on the Web and the cycle continues till we finally take most governments off life support and they act like responsible citizens...cool !!!!

Are you really good at handling cr@p?
Bad stuff happens to good and even somewhat enlightened people. But when you get really good at handling cruddy stuff often enough, you become comfortable with it. You might think that you’re living better now that you’re able to tolerate bad stuff without flying off the handle, but is that really a good thing?
