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.
Reservations and Low Expectations
John arrived at the hotel only to be told that he had a room with a twin bed. "I'm six foot four," John used as part of his argument. It didn't help. His confirming the day before didn't help, either. The clerk advised him to curl up in the twin bed.

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.

Success Through A Positive Mentor
"Success Through A Positive Mentor" is John Paul Carinci's story of how a chance meeting with an Olympic champion at age 21 changed John forever. by John Paul Carinci: author of "The Power Of Being Different" (c- 1998 John Paul Carinci)
A story of inspiration and action for marketers
I love the John Jackson wakeup call in the morning in our business. Some of us need coffee, tea whatever it takes to perk you up first thing in the morning. For me it is the cup of leadership .This morning was no different except we all witnessed John tell a very heart rendering story about his dad who passed away 11 years ago and he became very emotional at one point as he fondly remembered his dad. There were many lessons to be learned from this story and I will share a few of the highlight moments of that call with you.

Favoritism is a Huge Problem
John Wooden, the late famous basketball coach at UCLA once made the following statement: "Treating everyone the same is the most sure way to show favoritism." I puzzled over this statement for a while because I was taught it was important to treat everyone the same way in order to avoid playing favorites. John was indicating exactly the opposite is true. I believe his point is that individuals are all different, and each person has unique needs. If a leader treats everyone the same way, then he or she is really not being fair. Would you agree with that interpretation or is there something else I am missing in John's point. I believe there are seven antidotes to playing favorites in the workplace. They are listed in this article.
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.

Give them wings and they will fly
To get the best out of your staff you really have to know them. If you are able to connect with your employees you are going a long way to being a successful manager. Take a typical supervisor, John, in an organisation. Could you answer the following questions about him? Why does John want to work for you? What has been his greatest achievement this year? Does he have a professional goal for 2010? How long has John been working for you? If you are unable to answer any of these questions about one of your own employees then you are probably out of touch with your staff, and out of touch with your business.

Wooden You Like To Be Successful?
John Wooden is known as one of the finest basketball coaches in America. He took his UCLA team to the NCAA playoffs 10 of 12 years and was named coach of the Century by ESPN. John Wooden was a great teacher and coach. The brilliance of his teaching is that he focused on the mental aspect of the game as well as the technical skills of basketball. John Wooden repeatedly told his team that controlling emotions was at the core of winning the game.
