The Discipline of Profitability
Profitability is no accident! In fact, profitability starts with a mindset. It also requires written plans, budgets, and talented management and employee teams to execute the plan. Without the mindset and the determination to be profitable, most companies will not achieve maximum profitability. I refer to this mindset and the action it inspires, the discipline of profitability.

Great Example of Blogging Changes to Your Product
I'm a small investor in Shelfari. I read a ton and thought it would be fun to play along with them at home and both a user and an investor. About a month ago I started noticing increasing chatter about Shelfari spam during the invite process in my RSS search feeds on "Shelfari." I regularly passed them on to Josh Hug, the CEO of Shelfari.

The VC Version of Kick the Can
I got an email this morning from an entrepreneur that I know that has been trying to raise an early round from a "seed VC investor" for the past few months. He's put together (and closed) a decent angel round and left it open for this seed investor.

ATTRACTING INVESTORS: A Compelling Executive Summary in 10 Items or Less
Attracting an investor is like attracting a mate—you want to pique the investor’s interest without showing all your cards at the outset. The perfect vehicle for achieving this delicate balance is the Executive Summary. The goal of an Executive Summary is to whet the appetite of the investor by presenting a compelling premise, an irresistible hook. Your short (5 pages or less) document is meant to give a potential investor every reason to say “yes” and little reason to say “no” to a face-to-face meeting.

Investor Presentations: The How To's of Success
Few presentation appearances will test your ability to communicate more than the investor presentation.

Entrepreneur? - What the Heck is that?
According to most dictionaries, an entrepreneur is a business person who willingly takes a new idea, concept or enterprise. He or She will take on the full responsibility for the outcome.

Defining “Hard Money”
Even though the rates can be high, hard money can be quite useful when an investor has an opportunity to buy a property for a low price and sell it for a profit. Simply put, hard money even with its drawbacks can be a great tool in providing the capital necessary to facilitate a Real Estate Investor.

Wealth Planning: Defensive Strategies
Finding a qualified “Wealth Planner” is a subject for yet another day. Suffice it to say, I am NOT talking about the “Financial Planner” whose function is primarily to sell mutual funds and other commission-driven investment vehicles. When I talk about Wealth Planning I am referring to something that I do through reputable Investor Resources.

Another Reason REI Beats Paper Assets
In this article I want to discuss something called the “Preferred List”. This is a list of the funds that a brokerage recommends to their clients. It is the selection of funds that their research has determined are the absolute best in the industry for the firm’s clients. Sadly, in a lot of cases this list is made up of fund families that paid some sort of extra consideration to be on the list. It’s also interesting how often the firm’s proprietary funds end up on that list. Hence, if you are a client of Merrill Lynch, let’s say, you will typically see quite a few Merrill Lynch funds on that list. This is a simple case of allowing how much you get paid to drive your decisions on what funds to recommend.
