Fear Is The Mindkiller
I had a long phone call with a CEO of a company on Friday. He’s had an intense few weeks and was clearly stressed out. His summary was “my stomach hurts.” My objective view of his business is that it’s fine – lots of things are going well – but there are plenty of issues he needs to address and they don’t necessarily have a short term time horizon for resolution.
The J-Squared Facebook Someday Millionaires
BusinessWeek has a fun article about my buddies Jesse and Joe from J-Squared Media titled Who wants to be a Facebook millionaire? Jesse and Joe were founders of one of the TechStars teams this summer – when they showed up their original idea was to create a sharing tools that would distribute links to your networks of friends (not in Facebook – on the web.) The Facebook Platform launched shortly after TechStars started and Jesse and Joe got all over it.
In Search of Inexperience
TechCrunch published a great guest post by Glenn Kelman, the CEO of Redfin, called “Entrepreneur 2.0.” It inspired me to piggyback on his idea that investing in “serial entrepeneurs” who have already been successful might not be all that it’s cracked up to be and write this post.
Thinking Of Starting A Home Business? Find Out What It Takes To Succeed!
You've probably heard it said that entrepreneurs are a special breed. Some observers have even gone so far as to say that entrepreneurs are born and not made, or at least that their early environment predisposes them to business success.
Fearing Franchise Losses
You might need a few pointers if you’re working in franchise sales. This is due to the fact that when it comes to franchise selling, it’s a whole different ballgame compared to selling anything else. This is to be expected because it’s a costly business which also represents a complete alteration of your lifestyle and may just be the key to making your business dreams come true. That’s why you need to carefully think before buying a franchise.
Thinking of Franchising Your Business?

The importance of networking
This morning at 7.30am the Kenya ICT Board (www.ict.go.ke) held an open forum for the Kenya BPO & Contact Centre Society an umbrella organisation for all things outsourcing. I was to make a short presentation on some of the work we are doing on their portal, but I arrived a few minutes late so I wasn't slotted in, even though I was disappointed having worked on the powerpoint the previous night I opted to stay and hear what was to be said.

Money Management
I have come across a lot of entrepreneurs in my years of business – micro entrepreneurs and CEOs – and there is one thing that I often seen as being the difference between the two. Entrepreneurs who are just starting out are passionate, full of ideas and ambition, and determined to succeed. CEOs, while often equally as passionate, have one thing that many others don’t: money management skills. Startup entrepreneurs are in business to make money, but many do not know what to do with it once they have it. Since success is rarely a one-time stroke of luck, read on to discover some money management tricks that will help you stick around in the long run.

Entrepreneur Things
Entrepreneurs ( I need to share this with you) do the most ridiculous things. (I’m not going to name any of those things here because I don’t want to hurt the feelings of the dumb entrepreneurs who thought them up) But, I’m sure you know what I mean. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself the question from time to time, “What in the world was he thinking?” Well, that’s the subject of this morning’s blog. (It’s morning where I am, and I woke up with the thought that I needed to get this out of my system, off my chest, out of my mind, so here goes.)
Send the Jerks (C Players) Packing
Frequently, companies are created out of the ideas of a partnership or a group. So, it's quite natural to expect that entrepreneurs will need to work well with partners, teams, and employees. What amazes me though is how many entrepreneurs are willing to work with “C” Players! If you have been hanging on to your marginal performers, now is the time to free them. The question to ask yourself is this: “Would I enthusiastically hire this person today?” If you cannot answer “yes,” you probably don't have an “A” player. Now is the time to create your “A” team.
Serious Entrepreneurs Don’t Do Everything Themselves, They Outsource
Entrepreneurs are bold people who decide to do their own thing against all odds. Often to curtail costs and get things done quickly, they do all kind of jobs required in a business on their own. Unfortunatley, this is not always the best use of an entrepreneurs time, and, therefore, outsourcing can be beneficial.

Small Business Coach - Why Entrepreneurs Need Routine, Structure and Focus!
Most entrepreneurs hate the idea of routines, structure and rules - that's why we're entrepreneurs right? As a small business coach, what I've noticed is that the most successful entrepreneurs actually have the capacity to use routines, structure and focus at the right time and for the right reasons (unlike bureaucrats who do rules all of the time and for all the wrong reasons!!)

Business Product Idea

Importance of Entrepreneurship
Going through the process of entrepreneurship was a tough time for entrepreneurs and marketers alike during the 1970s because economists did not pay them much attention at that time. Now, many economists believe that entrepreneurs are contributing a lot to the economy of a country because of the small businesses that they are generating, which in turn creates jobs and productivity.
Inquiry As A Replacement For Self Doubt
I had several conversations with entrepreneurs this week who were struggling with a specific issue that had plagued them for a while. In each case these are strong, capable entrepreneurs who I’ve known for a long time. As with all entrepreneurs (and humans), they have strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots. In each case, I felt like self-doubt had crept into their brains around the specific weakness they were struggling with.
