Like Led Zeppelin, we all face the same entrepreneurial challenges:

  • Standing out in a crowded marketplace
  • Taking risks our competitors aren’t willing to take
  • Living with the reality that there’s a reason risks are risky
  • Living with the reality that there are huge risks in playing it safe

August 31, 2010

How organized do you have to be to remember important milestones or anniversaries, like today’s 30th anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination?

Where were you when you first heard the news? How did it make you feel? What did you do about it?

Telling people what you’re gonna do is important, particularly if you’re talking to yourself. In fact, it’s critical.

Escape Or Opportunity?

People who love what they do are rare in today’s tough economic times. Even in good times, it’s still elusive to have a job you absolutely love to do.

Being the curious creature I am, I asked the middle-age man sitting next to me in first class, “Do you ever think about retirement?”

Everyday!!, he exclaimed without hesitation.

He sounded like he couldn’t wait to leave. Me? Well, I shudder at the thought of leaving. Crazy, huh?
