The Trouble with \"Out of the Box\" Thinking
In an interview in Fortune magazine, writer Michael Lewis nails something important about the current ardor for innovators and entrepreneurs:
Serial Entrepreneurs and What Motivates Them
The WSJ has an excellent article titled The Secrets of Serial Success. The “serial entrepreneur” is a mysterious beast and entrepreneurship sociologists have been poking and prodding at it for some time. Most articles I read about the “motivation of serial entrepreneurs” falls short – this one nails a lot of the things I’ve observed and experienced.
Can Anyone Be A Major League Pitcher?
Alan Shimel has a fantastic post up titled Do they have to grow up? As I read it, I thought of some of the great lessons my dad taught me when I was a little kid and how hard they must have been for him to carry out.
Beyond Excellence: The "Berserk Standard"
Amazon has changed the world. eBay has changed the world. Craigslist has changed the world—put about a zillion nails in the coffins of newspapers, among many other Richter 8.0+ things. Craigslist has more traffic than Amazon or eBay. (Though a private company, Craigslist has a projected market capitalization in the billions.)
Be the CEO of Your Job
Sometimes a person says one sentence that just sticks with you and is so perfect that it defines a whole category of behavior. Mark Pincus, the CEO of Zynga, riffed on the phrase “be the CEO of your job” in a board meeting a year or so ago. It stuck with me and I’ve thought about it many times since.
Choices for Life
As time passes our waist seems to thicken and our hair thins, nails are not so strong and teeth are more often in the glass by the bed then they are chomping into a thick juicy steak. By the time we think about what nutrition or a lack of it has done to our lives, we are at an age we maybe thinking "what the hell, it has not killed me yet".
Giving Up: Have You Given Up on Yourself?

Who is your 'brochure' written for?
We are sick of apologising for our businesses not being able to live up to false expecations and promises too frequently splashed about with gay abandon in the marketing materials, annual report, PR hype et al that we are required to use.
PR Peeves
There are some pet peeves that arise again and again - not only for me but for many journalists - in dealing with publicists. So here are a few "do's and don'ts."
11 Reasons Selling Sucks!

FOR THE WANT OF A NAIL
For the want of a nail is a great old rhyme that communicates a very powerful message about how to ensure success in doing what is important to us.

Whats The Customer Service Buzz About Your Business
If you're a regular reader of this column you know that my number one pet peeve is bad customer service. Nothing chaps my backside more than paying hard-earned money for a product or service only to have the provider of said product or service become apathetic, obnoxious or just downright rude after the transactional smoke has cleared.
How to Find a Loan for a Franchise Business Opportunity
Of the dozen difficult aspects of selecting, starting, and running a new franchise opportunity, few are as potentially paralyzing as paying for it. Most of us have learned that money doesn’t grow on trees, and the average franchisee-to-be simply doesn’t have the cold, hard resources to make a business purchase outright. Whether the goal is a Sterling Optical costing no less than $100,000 or a Baymont Inn at $1mil, the staggering line of zeroes at the end of the prices on those business opportunities is likely to make even the most seasoned businessman run to the bathroom and check his pants.
Why Goals Are Important To Your Success
Creating goals, writing them down and taking the action steps to accomplish them is critical to your self-improvement. Studies have shown that when we write down our goals we are more likely to accomplish them. People who have written goals are much more successful then those who do not have written goals.

Coach Pete's Tip: Creating Powerful Goals
Having a Personal Vision is the first step in creating a new you. However a vision is just that, an idea or dream. It is important to dream. But dreaming will not make it happen. Only by having powerful action goals can you construct an effective plan and achieve your vision.
