Every business owner should make a point to stay up with Seth Godin’s blog. His style is usually very short and always razor sharp; and his points are even sharper than his style. Read at least one of his books too. My choice, if you read only one of those books, would be All Marketers [...]

I like this a lot: Seth Godin on How can you do it? First he quotes a question he’s received … “It’s like, how does anyone start their own business? How is it even possible? How do they deal with the crippling fear and harsh economic realities?” And he answers: The people who successfully start [...]

I like this story of how a business app came together even better than I like the app itself. And I do like the app, called NonLinear. I called it A Cool New Tool For Presenting Slides on the Ipad in my positive review on Small Business Trends. But I like the story better. It [...]

I’m hoping to be able to do this more often in the future. I tend to put blog posts I like on Twitter, but I’m trying to keep track of them better, so I can also share them with readers of this blog. These are recent posts and columns, three of the five either my [...]

There was an industrial revolution that created industry. Now we’re in an entrepreneurial revolution, which will create, what? This is a nice thought piece, in less than five minutes, a talk with Seth Godin.

Seth’s post is called Debt, equity and a third thing that might work better. It works like this: You have an idea, a fledgling [...]

With all the talk surrounding the landmark book Free by Chris Anderson, I want to recommend Steve King‘s post “Free isn’t a Business Model, But it is a Business Strategy” on his Small Business Labs blog. I’ve followed the Free controversy myself, and posted about it here on this blog, and here on the Huffington Post, [...]

There are long-term needs and wants, and then there is fashion, and there is changing technology as well. Does the recession mean markets are falling apart? Is technology making some markets fall into disorder? Does that make this a good time to start something new in those same markets? Maybe. Seth Godin suggested this the other day, in [...]

I admit it: Business development (bizdev) seemed to me like an internet catch-all job with little definition, little standardization and–all too frequently–little meaning. And I say “admit” it and “seemed to me” because I know that’s a very negative generalization, often plain wrong. But there was a time when every next person in those awkward [...]

I had a long talk yesterday with a good friend at the back end of a bad business experience. Call it recession-related, banking, credit cards and a website that might be valuable someday–good information, nice interface–but was taking too long. We had a talk about web apps, trends and the long-term problem of free. My [...]
