It’s not my fault that this post is so late. After all that talk about procrastination I thought it was about time that I knocked a few of the repeater items off the list for awhile—stuff like vacuuming, dusting, etc. Egad, I actually fixed my pants—not because I mentioned it yesterday, but because it got […]
Not sure who to vote for? Wondering who to promote? Trying to evaluate the best candidate for CEO? It’s easy to choose, just vote/promote/hire the best jaw line.
A strong chin, that Hollywood staple, may also be a plus for aspiring CEOs. That’s the conclusion of New York plastic surgeon Darrick Antell, who presented his highly […]
I love writing rhymes, but I take no credit for this one. Business Week’s Marc Miller, as edited by Deborah Stead did a terrific job encompassing Business2007 in this witty, slightly irreverent rhyme.
Many Happier Returns
2007, Christmastime:

Experience—probably the best gift you can either give or receive. Just remember,
when you give the wisdom that comes from experience don’t try to cram it down someone’s throat. Talk about the experience, discuss what you learned from it, […]
I have a friend whose preferred reading involves “grace under pressure” and another who reads/watches anything spotlighting “strength of character.”
I think they go hand-in-hand—strength of character may be visible in many different acts, but without it, I doubt anybody would demonstrate much grace when adversity strikes.

If you somehow missed out or haven’t been following (with baited breath) the successes and travails of Kay, the intrepid entrepreneur we’ve been advising for the Biz Channel Apprentice Challenge, catch up here. This week’s challenge is to tell Kay a success story that inspired me.
I’ve always been a survivor and believed that anything was […]
A friend who is in stealth mode for his startup took a moment out of his 18-hour day (no exaggeration) and sent me the following, the first is advice to me and the rest is for Kay.
Miki, be more of a firebrand and iconoclast (gee, I’m usually told to be less of these:) in this […]
Let’s pretend that you head an organization that fights women’s stereotypes and you apply to various companies who market to women for funding to develop campaigns on beauty and age or beauty and skin color. How responsive (read: generous) do you think companies would be in funding those efforts?
