Are You Persevering or Enduring
| |
| Why try to make a distinction between perseverance and endurance? In both perseverance and endurance, we may struggle at times, feel fear of failure or rejection, or worry that we are not worthy of what we long for. So the distinction between perseverance and endurance can easily get blurred.
But perseverance and endurance take us down different roads so they are worth distinguishing. Endurance will lead us to a dead end whereas perseverance, although it may take us down a long and meandering path, offers up surprises, serendipity, and synchronicity. |

| It is not any trade mark which is registrable. To be registrable the mark should be distinctive and should not be similar to any other trade mark registered for the same or similar goods or used by a competitor whether registered or not. In the case of a similar mark used by a competitor but not registered difficulties for registration will arise only if the owner of the mark chooses to oppose the registration. In choosing a trade mark therefore one has to see whether the mark satisfies the requirement of distinctiveness contained in section 9 of the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958. |

Your Brand of Leadership
| |
| What does a ‘brand’ mean? In simple and historic terms it is asserting one’s right to ownership. Think about cattle being branded on the plains of the ‘Old West’. What the owner is saying is, this mark is my mark and anything or any animal that wears it is owned by me or originated from my ranch.
Do you know what your leadership brand is? To develop your leadership brand requires you to know what you stand for. |

A hard working brand or just another pretty face
| |
| Many of us received our brand training through a practice of visual identity. In other wards, we created ad campaigns and other tactical applications to provide brand distinction. Yet, I know everyone reading this has heard numerous times and from multiple sources that a brand is not a logo or a tagline or a color palette. And still, not everyone realizes the difference between branding and brand development – or, visual identity vs. strategic identity. Brand development is the discovery of a brand’s unique (strategic) distinction and branding is the tactical (visual) application of that distinction. |

Give Your VCs Assignments
| |
| Over the weekend, Mark Suster wrote a great post titled How To Communicate with your Investors between Board Meetings. Mark continues to just tear it up with great advice for entrepreneurs. However, he left out one thing from the post – which is one of my favorite pieces of advice for entrepreneurs.
Give your venture capitalists (and board members) assignments
Mark alludes to this in many of his suggestions but he never comes out and says it. And, amazingly to me, many entrepreneurs either don’t ever think of this or don’t feel comfortable doing it. They should. |

Are You Suffering Unnecessarily?
| |
| "Life means suffering."
Truth #1 of the 4 Noble Truths of Buddhism
I've been pondering about the amount of suffering there is in the world these days. Perhaps my awareness has been heightened by these turbulent times, coupled with an increase sense of compassion that has grown in me with the years.
I realize that, as Buddha said, that there is suffering in life, but it seems to me that it's useful to look at it as either 'necessary suffering' or 'unnecessary suffering.' Of course, this is a somewhat artificial distinction but it still seems a useful distinction to make. |
