It's Never Too Late To Start
If you are an entrepreneur, you are investing most if not all of your waking hours into building your company. If you are also lucky enough to have a family on top of that, you join the many men and women who have struggled to balance work, parenting, and being a decent spouse. And after all the effort and time invested for years - maybe even decades, what do you discover?

Starbucks Strategy
When Starbucks went public in 1992, it had only 165 stores spread throughout Seattle and its neighbouring states. Today, it has surpassed its 10,000 goal and is planning on adding another 10,000 outlets worldwide. What was the Starbucks strategy that enabled this initially West Coast yuppie fad to become a global phenomenon, placing Starbucks at 338 on the 2006 Fortune 500 List?
Do CEO\'s Overcompensate for Their Strengths?
As I sit in the Seattle airport waiting to board my delayed flight to Anchorage (Dear Alaska Airlines: Since it’s a “mechanical delay”, please feel free to delay it as long as you want until you are absolutely sure the airplane works), I was pondering a conversation I had at the very end of Gnomedex with an entrepreneur that I’d met for the first time.
No One Ever Tells Us/No One Ever Asks Us
The Seattle Sonics, a National Basketball Association team, are having problems. This is nothing new for the Sonics, nor for many professional teams. The same could be said for many businesses. The actual problem is universal.


Starbucks opened its first store in Seattle, Washington in 1971. Since then, the company has become so engrained in the city’s culture and identity that many have begun to refer to the city as Starbucks Seattle. Indeed, with one of the highest density per block of outlets in the world, the moniker Starbucks Seattle has some merit.

Bill Gates Age
Many may wonder at just how exactly the richest man in the world got his title, but when it comes to Bill Gates’ age, there is no mystery. Born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, Bill Gates’ age will be 52 this year.

Making it through the Jungle: How Bezos Took Amazon to the Top
Bezos was hit with the hard reality of life when he came to the realization in university that he would never become one of the world’s great physicists. Little did he know that what the future had in store for him would be equally as impressive; from the garage in his two-bedroom home to the company’s global headquarters in Seattle that oversees its $8.5 billion in revenues, Amazon has become one of the largest e-commerce sites in the world. How did Bezos do it?
RealNetworks Offers Consumers Another Layer of DVD DRM
Guess you just can't have too much DRM. At least not if you believe RealNetwork's CEO Rob Glaser. He's going to help you rip your DVDs to your HD so you can play them on the go. Of course he doesn't touch Hollywood's DRM and in fact goes them one better...he adds his own unique, really cool DRM on top of it. Then when Hollywood says that's not part of our agreement he does the only logical thing...he sues them!!! Life up in Seattle must be a little dull right now.
The Marketing Pyramid: How to Find Your Ideal Client
If you were trying to find your soul mate through a dating site, a description such as “looking for someone 35-45 in Seattle who drives a red car” isn’t going to find you your Prince or Princess Charming. The same is true with your marketing materials. To find those people who get you excited about your business and what you’re doing, you have to laser in on your “ideal client.”

Managing Priorities
I’m at the end of day three of another very intense, but enjoyable and satisfying week. I’ve been in Seattle the past two days and am headed to LA for the next two days before finally making it home after being on the road for the past two weeks.
The Wiener That Ate New York!
But wait: what's this? Turns out Wiener, who just last summer found time in his hectic Beck-bashing schedule to marry a young protege of Hillary Clinton's, has been sending tawdry self-portraits over the internet to various OTHER young women, such as a college girl in Seattle. Really? Seriously, Congressman...?
