Professional Speaker or Just Pitchman?
Have you dealt with a seminar speaker who made you angry? Plenty of “public speakers” out there are amazing at what they do. They inspire, motivate and educate you. But a few douchebags ruin it for those of us who try to deliver value. If you are a speaker take notice. Don’t treat your audience like a room full of wallets. Stop making us stand up, scream shit out loud or say YES 20 times before you try to get them to sign up to... [Read More...]

Do you understand saturated markets?
It occurred to me today that people use the term “saturated market” very loosely. If you do a little research (Wikipedia) you will learn what market saturation really is. The term is used to define a product that has hit the diffusion point in a marketplace. The best examples here would be the refrigerator, automobiles and even the famous George Foreman grill. These products are saturated because the majority of households that need these products... [Read More...]

The year is 2010. Do you think logos matter? I would really like your thoughts on the subject. You think that any company would be better or worse off if they had a different logo? Assuming of course their logo isn’t a giant turd. Tell me what you think about the subject. I am still undecided.

When is the right time to hire help?
Justin Popovic and I talk about the entrepreneurs struggle to decide when to bring in outside help. I have always had at least one employee, to me it’s an essential part of my business. Allowing me to focus on my strengths while letting others pick up the slack. Truth be told, I couldn’t do everything on my own. Without Claire handling my finances, Megan handling EVERYTHING else, and my various outsourcers doing the work that we are... [Read More...]
What is the value of your idea?
It’s important to understand the value of an idea. Without a proof of concept or some type of prototype in place you are going to have a very hard time selling your idea. I’m not talking about a formula, calculation or piece of software. If all you have is an idea my belief is that there is no value until you bring it to fruition. What are your thoughts on the subject? SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "What is the value of your idea?", url:... [Read More...]
