A Visit To The Dreaming Room

People have asked me over the years how to know when a business is worth pursuing.  How to know whether or not you are wasting your time. I don’t know why this is such a difficult question for people to answer. It is obvious to me that if you are passionate about your company, deeply passionate about it, like a love affair, then it’s worth pursuing whether you’ve got it down or not. My...

About Women Entrepreneurs

There is something so fundamental about women, so essential.  That is why entrepreneurship is a calling so clearly feminine, and yet so masculine, which explains why there are so many more companies founded by women, and yet so very few of them grow beyond a million in revenue, while men, everywhere, no matter in what industry, grow, grow, grow. Let me explain it to you. Women are not interested...

There Are So Many Ways to Avoid the Obvious | Working ON the Business

And what about you?  How many ways do YOU find to avoid the obvious?  The obvious being that your business is your product, your only product, the product every single entrepreneur has invented to distinguish himself or herself in the world. Like Starbucks is.  Or McDonald’s.  Or Apple.  Or Walmart. I’ve got Howard Schultz’ book, ONWARD, on my desk, and have been dipping into it on and off. ...

The Year is New Once Again | New Year’s Resolutions

Yes, the year is new once again, and our hearts must follow this tradition if we are ever to understand what it means to create anew, and why creating is so important to each and every one of us. I have written so many of these messages for so many years at this time, that when it was suggested that I give it a go again, I poised before saying yes, as all I could hear was my same old voice, saying...

A Serious Man – Keeping Promises

I’m fortunate in that I have an extraordinary assistant who reminds me every chance she can get that it’s time for me to write.  If she didn’t remind me, I would forget.  There is usually so much going on in my mind and therefore in my life – just like you I imagine – that keeping on point is rarely the foremost thing in my mind. My wife, Luz Delia, often comes to me to ask if I have...

The Illusion, The Confusion

I received a tweet from a gentleman in Uganda yesterday (@SocEntAfrica), telling me that his Center has The E-Myth Revisited in it, and wishing me well.  Along with the tweet was his Center’s address, and all the blogs he and or they have written over time. One was about a young girl at the age of 13, who has taken it upon herself to heal the wounds of their community, children infected with...

The Giant Sucking Sound of the Word, Leadership

I was asked this morning to perhaps speak at a global conference for leadership at the end of 2012 by a very interesting guy. He made it sound so compelling that I went to the website he linked me to, to watch the video on it of 2011’s Global Conference, and naturally was immediately engaged by a most electrifying panoply of sounds and words and music and passion, both of the speakers, and of the audience,...

On The Personal Side™ | And why does anything matter…

Wanted to get a running start on the day, knowing I would have to find the time and the energy to move my fingers, as I am doing right now, to talk to you, about a subject which comes calling to me, more and more often, the older I get, which is, why does anything matter, yes, why, when time seems to be always running out, when words seem to always be escaping me, when the energy I have always, since...
