Wikipedia for Patents
John Funk, an entrepreneur (I’m an investor in John’s newest company – Evergreen IP) and friend has a innovative proposal up concerning changing the rules on the current patent system. I’ve been on both sides of the patent aisle with John – we like to joke that early on in our relationship John’s company sued one of my companies (and then my company sued John’s company back) for patent infringement (the companies settled several years later for a cross license and $1 – much to the delight of the lawyers who got all the bucks.) Fortunately we got past all that crap and have developed a nice friendship.

Marketing Software
I have a friend named John who I met a few years back at a business convention. Due to our similar interest in startups, we hit if off right away. John was just working on getting his public relations company off the ground and running, and with the amount of passion he always had for this business, I had no doubt he would be able to do so. But, after having lunch with John the other week, I realized something; three years after I had first met him, John was still struggling to get his business off the ground. It wasn’t because he wasn’t dedicated. Rather, after talking to him, I realized he was missing out on having one big advantage: marketing software.

How to decide when you need a written agreement (and when you don’t)
“You have a deal!” said John as he reached over to shake Paul’s hand. Paul was elated. He knew the new business venture could reap rewards for both parties. However, Paul had been burnt before in a similar deal and knew he should have a written agreement with John. But, he wasn’t sure John would go for it – and he didn’t want to lose the deal.

Mind set of an Entrepreneur should be?
Why would the mind set of entrepreneur is so important? Ask yourself, why is Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees is who he is to today? Why John Rockefeller is is who he is today?

Negativity Has Left the Building: Focus on the Positive & Show Negativity the Door
John was at his wits end because his sales team had gone negative, they were selling less and he could see his ship had sprung a major leak and was going down. I gave John an exercise to do over the next 3 weeks to show negativity the door.

Freebie Marketing Case Study - Standard Oil In China
The case of Standard Oil in China is an interesting one, particularly from the perspective of freebie marketing. Standard Oil had a monopoly in the American market, and was looking to expand its business by branching out into the Chinese market. Standard Oil's owner, John D. Rockefeller, along with other executives from the company, decided to give away eight million kerosene lamps for free or reduced prices. By doing so, they in essence created a market for their oil in China. The company most certainly lost money at the outset by giving lamps away for free or for less than they were worth, but they more than made up for the lost revenue once Chinese customers began purchasing oil for these lamps from Standard Oil. China went on to become Standard Oil's largest market in Asia.
