Making Business Personal
One of the most common mistakes people make when building relationships for career success and revenue growth is treating business contacts differently than personal friends. Just think for a moment about the people you work with on a professional level who are also close personal friends. Aren't they always more forgiving when you slip up and more helpful when you're in need than new acquaintances are? Of course! I guarantee your work will be easier, more joyful, and more successful if you make more of your business relationships personal.

Counterpoint: Patents and Defensibility
Three of my buddies who are patent attorneys disagreed with my diatribe against patents as a key component of a startup’s defensibility. Being the open-minded Guy that I am, I offered to publish their counterpoint so that you can obtain a broader perspective of intellectual property issues for startups.

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.

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. Learn what is safe and what is not with Social Networks

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.

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.

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....
