Published on February 27, 2007

Being laid up for the last couple of days provided me with a ton of time to think about whatever I wanted. So I got thinking - what’s the world’s greatest business model? Is it franchising, which provides an almost plug and play solutions? Is it subscriptions? Is it something affiliate based? Is it Wal-Mart […]

I’m going in for a little minor surgery tomorrow so please excuse me if I’m slow to respond to any form of communication over the next four or five days.

Cisco caves!

Published on

I’m willing to bet that every employee at Cisco gets a free iPhone (Apple’s iPhone that is) for the rest of their life. Although they both get to use the iPhone name, Apple is the clear winner here.

Devin Thorpe posted a great commentary the other day on how people can change. I highly encourage you to read it. Thanks, Devin for inspiring this post.

Another million down the drain at Speaking Roses

Important notice: In the Summer of 2007, Speaking Roses filed for bankruptcy. The company’s intellectual property was acquired out of that bankruptcy by several of the former founders of Speaking Roses. Those founders then restarted the company as a new entity and are now trying to market Speaking Roses as a bizopp distributorship. Therefore, the Company discussed in the post below was the “old” […]


“Listening” to what we read

Published on February 16, 2007

Listening

Published on February 15, 2007
