Lesson #5: Think Of It As A Game Of Poker
“You know, in life you always have to give yourself some sort of challenge,” says Laliberté, “and for me the game of poker, because of the mathematics, the personality aspect of it, I feel very comfortable in it. It's a great experience.”

Being A Tourist In the Napa Valley
Some friends of mine from Chicago came out for a visit a few weeks ago to take in the Napa Valley, tour some wineries, and experience the excitement of crush. It had been a while since I played tourist here in the Valley and thought it might be fun, so I tagged along. It was quite an experience. While my husband, Mike, was the Vineyard Manager for Robert Mondavi Winery, we had attended a zillion fabulous events, special tours, and tastings but I could not actually remember ever going through a typical,everyday tour of the winery.
Poker, Unpredictability, and Going on Tilt
I had an interesting experience tonight playing Texas Hold'em Poker. Despite having virtually no poker experience, I ended up winning a decent-sized pot. The morals of the story:
The Fly Girl Takes Off: Lopez’s Career Soars
After Lopez made the move to Hollywood, opportunities seemed to abound. She continued to star as a Fly Girl on the hugely successful In Living Color for two years, before deciding to move on to bigger and brighter things. She gained roles as a dancer in numerous music videos, including Janet Jackson’s That’s the Way Love Goes. She was even offered the chance to tour on Jackson’s world tour but turned it down. Lopez had greater ambitions.

10 Leadership Lessons from the Tour de France
As many readers will know, I am passionate about cycling. I love the complex interplay of personal discipline with teamwork. I love the combination of brutal effort and chess like strategy. I love the epic scenery and the cool gadgets - I love it all. This week the 2009 Tour de France enters it’s final, decisive week. So in a blatant bid to get more people interested in cycling - here are my 10 leadership lessons from the Tour...
Poker – a Metaphor for Business
Poker – a Metaphor for Business One of my sins (if you can call it that) is to play online poker. Not a great stakes player I hasten to add; I tend to play in tournaments with $5 to $10 entry fees. Actually I am quite good at that level and have made a small profit from my forays. But interestingly enough Poker has something to say about business that is worth repeating.

Virtual Book Tours - A Marketing Tool for Your New Book
A virtual book tour (VBT) uses similar concepts as a book tour except it is done virtually on the Internet. Instead of physically going on a tour visiting book stores, you visit blogs.
Currency Markets, Vegas-Style!
Let’s face it; the currency market is akin to the ultimate final table in the World Series of Poker. At that table, you have eight people sitting around, all trying to bluff one another. Some have large stacks of chips, while others are short-stacked. Some like to talk a little more than others, while others prefer to let their cards do their talking. Ultimately, there will be one winner.
Home-based Business: Tour Guide
Working as a tour guide is a home-based business that can make you spend more time outside than at home. Either you are out with a group of people taking a tour in some of the attractive and tourists spots in your community, or running your marketing campaign.
Getting the Most Out of Group Travel
Group tour travel is a great way to save money and broaden your access to exotic destinations. These excursions have a lot more to offer than just a ride on a bus. Tour companies often have the leverage and connections to negotiate significant discounts with hotels and other vendors. They can help you cut your vacation expenses. If you're a first time traveler, a group tour can help you to get around in unfamiliar territory. Some destinations are difficult to visit at all without an experienced guide, and group tour travel solves that dilemma.

Off the Books and Underground
Some years ago while taking a walking tour in downtown Los Angeles, the tour guide waved his hand at a commercial strip on Broadway and said something that stayed in my mind. “More cash changes hands every Saturday on this street than in Beverly Hills” was his observation. Notice he said cash and not higher gross sales. There is an unmeasured segment of the small business community that seems to be growing, especially in urban areas. It is a world where cash is not just King, but the entire royal court! Politicians and regulators need to absorb the lessons coming from the off-the-books economy.
