In yesterday’s post, we looked at a question posted by my friends, Chris Brogan and Joe Sorge on their show, Kitchen Table Talks” which asked, “Which is more important — the product or the process?” In examining the question, it was suggested that perhaps there was a third choice: that both are just as important.…
On Tuesday’s episode of my favorite Internet business show, “Kitchen Table Talks” with Chris Brogan and Joe Sorge, the “Question of the Week” was: “Which is more important — the product or the process?” In other words, of the two, the product itself, or the system by which the product is marketed and sold, which…
Years ago, while reading a very good book by Milo O. Frank entitled, How To Get Your Point Across In 30 Seconds or Less, I was reminded that – in the context of persuasion – there are three essentials for every form of spoken or written communication: “Know what you want, know who can give…
Just finished the book, Idea Man: A Memoir by the Cofounder of Microsoft, by Paul Allen. It was a fascinating look into the digital genius, entrepreneur, philanthropist, musician and explorer whom, because of his private nature, few outside his world knew much about before this book. I learned many lessons from the book though it…

I recently tweeted and posted on Facebook one of my favorite thoughts: “Just because you think it doesn’t mean you have to say it. Self-editing before speaking can help avoid much regret.” It seemed as though practically everyone who commented could relate, not only to the statement itself, but that we’ve all fallen victim to…
Yesterday I tweeted and “Facebooked” (still can’t get over those new verbs) 🙂 one of my favorite quotes from Ayn Rand, the Russian immigrant whose magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged has finally been made into a movie: “A creative (wo)man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.” This was…
