Startup Lessons
Here are a few startup lessons from a fellow entrepreneur.

Decisions aren’t decisions if you have to keep making them. Set on the course and stick to it. If you keep talking about things that have already been...

It seams that I am becoming fonder of Brandy lately. E&J reminds me of my younger days in high school and it tastes pretty good as a late night drink.

Smoking seems to be the preferred pastime for everyone around me. The temptation is killing me!
Where is the Passion?
I have been trying to hire some good talent for my company and have been largely unsuccessful. The experienced folks seem to be bored in what they do and too stuck in their ways, while the passionate fellers are sparkling new and have very little to give besides enthusiasm. One guy stands out, however, I can’t seem to find a happy middle and I would hate to hire the “best” out the mediocre bunch I...

A couple red stripes are a good way to celebrate good news. Today something important was discovered that will impact my life for ever. Exited, worried, and a bit...
Do sales promotions work?
Of course they do. Why else would companies spend millions doing them? They must have proven successful in getting sales. However, when it comes to building brand loyalty, sales promotions might only introduce a new customer to your brand but will not make them loyal. A person that is in different about a particular brand will simply pickup the better bargain item that meets her minimum needs and...
The Future of Internet Advertising
Internet advertising is bound to grow significantly in years to come. Three days ago, Yahoo! announced the acquisition of RightMedia, a web advertising market place for $680 million in cash and Yahoo stock. This follows last months Google’s acquisition of DoubleClick, an ad management company for $3.1 billion in cash. The internet giants are at war in attempt to secure as much of the online ad...
