Entrepreneurs think eclectically – right now we need more of this type of entrepreneur thinking. While we discover new patterns* like the emergence of 1980s synthesizers, for how we schedule the day, a theory of human behavior comes to mind. Abraham Maslow is one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century. His […]
For years we’ve heard, “go local” as a cry to champion local businesses over big box retail stores that have often outcompeted smaller stores.

The value of exploring new things can change your life. Every university likes to talk about academic “excellence” with hundreds of pages in the course catalogue of course subjects. The attitude seems to be that you can choose anything you want, as long as you do it well. What’s the end result of this? […]
What’s the one thing that brings people together? Common ground. Community. Shared Purpose. In these trying times, it’s easy to look for ways to cast judgy eyes onto those that are different from you. In business, there are seldom second chances to make a great impression. As a result, if there is contention, often this loses customers. […]

What’s your dream car? Ferrari’s are high on many people’s lists – personally I would rather have a Bentley. When you start a business, and get an early windfall, it’s often tempting to blow all your money on a big purchase like a Ferrari. But if there isn’t an infrastructure and a way to diversify your sources […]
As the new year approaches, we make our resolutions for the next 365 days, and reflect on the past year. But, it’s a special time; we are concluding a decade. Seems crazy right? I don’t know about you but for me this feels like the first official decade of the 2000s. 2000-2010 still seemed like […]
