In fact, I couldn’t stop. Why was I humming along to music I’ve never heard before? A Coke poster redone It turns out I had heard these songs before, as they were Chinese takes on American melodies. They covered the likes of Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, with traditional Chinese musical stylings. (Or at least what I imagine to be a traditional Chinese “style”.) *** Why are musical remakes so well received? Because they’re a perfect blend of familiar and unfamiliar. A new take on an old story. Up-and-coming musicians sometimes get their start by remaking an old classic. Sometimes it fails badly, but breathing life into a classic is can be a great w...

Never run on the side of the road where you can’t see the cars or the cars can’t see you. Sure, there are variations to this rule, but the biggest issue with running on roads with cars is making sure the cars know you’re there. Makes sense, right? A couple weeks ago I took a trip to Arkansas and did some running while I was there. Arkansas is one of the most beautiful states (in my humble opinion). The landscape is hilly and steep, complete with winding roads. It’s really a treat to run on. However, the problem with hilly and steep roads is that oftentimes your view of oncoming traffic is obstructed. In fact, often there were times running where neither side...

Maybe you have – but it seems like an impossible dream, and you know you can’t just walk out of your current job and hope for the best. Or maybe you can’t imagine quitting – you enjoy your work, you like your colleagues, and you want a steady income. Either way, think about starting a side business: it could have huge benefits for you. Here’s how. #1: Boost Your Bank Balance Few of us want less money. Chances are, you’re either trying to pay off debt, or trying to increase your savings. A side business lets you make extra money without chasing a promotion or asking for a raise at work.

Watching the entire process of a tiny person grow inside of my wife’s belly has been a real mind bender. I also can’t help but notice similar qualities between babies and new companies. For both, the processes are namely creating and shipping, with copious amounts of support. Amiright? Ok, maybe that’s oversimplifying the process. Yet, there are some crucial similarities between growing a business and a baby. (Aside from, you know, the fact that they’re “new”.) I’ve been working on a tiny side project for a little longer than my wife has been pregnant, and it’s also about ready to be “born”. This is what I’ve learned in the process. You&#821...

However, Biden’s latest tall tale is as unamusing as it is wrong. From the New York Daily News: “Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive,” he said. “In the middle of the Civil War you had a guy named Lincoln paying people $16,000 for every 40 miles of track they laid across the continental United States. … No private enterprise would have done that for another 35 years.” I’ll go straight to the 19th century railroads issue by referencing the work of two Cato scholars who probably know a little bit more about the topic than Joe Bid...

I’ve had plenty of ideas for sites and products that I never developed because I was scared stiff of the competition. In fact, a couple of years ago I abandoned a project that was 95% completed because a huge company entered the space and was touted as the “total solution”. (It turns out that the service was mildly successful, but never gained market share or lived up to the hype.) But instead of just finishing the 5% that was left with development, trusting in what I had built, and releasing the product anyway, I threw up the white flag. Hindsight tells me that had I actually released the website, it probably would have been pretty profitable. Needless to say, it was a valuable lesson for me....

It’s often our nature to want to be the best at everything. If we can do many things well, we should be able to see profits. “Diversify, diversify, diversify”. Yet for whatever reason, sprawling out into multiple markets doesn’t necessarily mean success. It’s only being the best at one thing and refining it daily that wins in the long run. Chipotle has centered around the the simple premise that they were going to serve a very limited menu, without extra things like plates, appetizers, or deserts. Just burritos, tacos and salads with all the same (limited) ingredients. Experts believed that the limited selection would turn customers away. Oops. Ever seen Instapaper?

The “flow” is where the power is. So when do you feel amazing? What activities cause you to feel useful, vital, better-than-before? When do you have that “there’s more where that came from” feeling? What feels so good and so easy to give that you give it generously? Do more of that — and get paid to do it — until that’s all you’re doing with your life.

Answer: Having a satisfied customer do it for you.Give your customers a reason to evangelize your prouducts.My friend Heather was previously using an real estate agent that was a tad on the pushy side. The agent did all those things that really cheese potential home buyers off, like suggesting homes way out of Heather’s budget. The agent basically tried to force Heather into buying a home out of her price range so that she could receive a higher commission. (She even suggested Heather borrow money from her parents to do it!)Instead of helping Heather, the agent was most interested in helping herself. So, I sent Heather over to my buddy Travis who is also a real estate agent. I’ve known Travis for a while, and he’...

Although, the one that overwhelms all of the other emotions is excitement. Yesterday was the last day of my day job and so today is my first official day as a full time entrepreneur. It’s a big step for myself and my family, but I can’t wait to see what I’m going to be able to do online working on it full time. I’ll be continuing my work on this site and EMR and EHR.

If you are like me, you probably had reservations and probably wondered what the real story was. I’ve been pitched enough faulty products, unworkable MLM businesses, and million dollar get rich schemes, that I am skeptical about anything that seems too easy or doesn’t require much time and effort. Yet… what if someone handed you a cool new product and wanted you to endorse it… would you have enough faith to do it?

I’m here today to tell you, they’re all wrong. I must admit that until fairly recently I too believed in the ‘chase your passion’ school of thinking and I even say in my first book: “I can’t guarantee that you will earn big bucks living your dream, but if you are really happy and can meet your basic needs, do you really care?” In principal it’s fine and for a lot of people, good advice.

New data that the jobs created by the stimulus have been overstated by thousands is compelling, but it’s really a secondary issue. The primary issue is that the government cannot “create” anything without hurting something else. To “create” jobs, the government must first extract wealth from the economy via taxation, or raise the money by issuing debt. Regardless of whether the burden is borne by present or future taxpayers, the result is the same: job creation and economic growth are inhibited. At the same time the government is taking und...

The Tories have looked at the evidence amassed by James and his colleagues (see p. 36 of their new report) and concluded that the best way to advance education in developing countries is to encourage and support existing entrepreneurial schools that are already serving the poor.

Have you seen anger recycled into action? To merely manage anger is far too passive for successful leaders with a vision for the future where they work. Entrepreneurs at the cutting edges tend to recycle anger in ways that add brainpower to improve their situation. Recycled anger tends to ripple out to meet others who struggle. So what makes you angry?

Why then are lasting improvements so rare? Timothy Clark tells the story of change initiatives that never materialized ... in his recent book, Epic Change. In Clark’s words:I met with a CEO once who showed me a drawer in his filing cabinet.

It’s an imperative in today’s high-speed, ultra competitive, global environment. Do you agree?

While ruts likely have less to do with age, then attitudes … nevertheless 43% see older people as stuck in their ways.

If leaders who managed mega monopolies cannot cultivate or sustain business that fits inventors and entrepreneurs – who can? The simple response … Transformational leaders with the brain in mind. Entrepreneurs look to transformational leaders today – in order to grow innovative ideas and market their discoveries. It comes through using the brain in 4 novel ways.
