What Not to Micromanage.

September 28, 2010 September 28, 2010 / Leave a Comment / Marketing, Perspective

For any entrepreneur there are very few things more valuable than your time. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fielded questions from new entrepreneurs about when to outsource something, versus learning or doing it yourself.

We’re fortunate enough to live in an era of communication where we don’t have to struggle to find expertise or help, for just about anything. CarbonCopyPRO is a perfect example of that exact thing. Does everyone have the time to have an academic understanding of Google Analytics and the algorithims that determine organic search page rankings? I know I don’t!This great article in Inc. Magazine breaks down the 10 things you definitely should not try to micromanage. Things like your IT concerns, accounting and social media.

After all, remember: TIME IS MONEY and MONEY NEVER SLEEPS. (shameless Wall St. plug sorry:)

All my best,

The Myth of the Risk-Takers

April 8, 2010 | 0

In a recent piece in one of my favorite mags, the New Yorker titled “The Sure Thing,” Malcolm Gladwell, the king of countering widely held American assumptions, wrote that risk taking is not actually a widespread quality among hugely successful entrepreneurs. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Major entrepreneurs like Ted Turner and John Paulson are in reality so risk averse that they take—or took, when accumulating their massive wealth—all possible precautions to reduce risk. Big-time entrepreneurs, Gladwell suggests, are not the kind of wild gamblers who, because they have the courage to take big risks, eventually make a lot of money. They are more akin to the MIT Blackjack Team, from the book “Bringing Down the House,” or the movie with Kevin Spacey “21,” who discovered the game of blackjack was legally beatable, if you applied certain mathematical principles to it.
