Reversible business models

August 28, 2008

I just finished reading this excellent post.  Here is a quote.
In China, some doctors are paid monthly when you are healthy. If you are sick, it’s their fault, so you don’t have to pay that month. It’s their goal to get you healthy and keep you healthy so they can get paid.

Customer Satisfaction: Time is Precious

August 27, 2008

I’ve noticed in Internet Marketing that many professional Internet Marketers are awful at customer service.  Some even remove people from their list and ban there IP address from their website so they can’t ever visit again.  If they did this with a restaurant they would lose everyone else to after the big “scene”.  Not professional [...]

Traveling around the world

August 26, 2008

My cousin Milena is traveling around the world and I just found out she is writing for her home town newspaper in the travel section.  She is going to write a book about it hopefully.
She has some rather funny bits and it’s worth a read.

Multiplying Output in Groups Plus

August 25, 2008

Tim Ferris’ latest blog post is awesome.  So much content.  I love that.
The video is excellent on showing how employees can be more productive not just CEO and entreprenuers.  And the worksheet is going out to all my team.
There is a misconception that lifestyle design is just for entrepreneurs or CEOs.
In reality, the principles — [...]

Richard Branson and the Super model

August 22, 2008

Your story was so inspiring to me. I imagined that I would be shy about saying hi. I wouldn’t want to bother his time with his family, but he and his family enjoyed talking to you. Like minded people like hanging out together.
I want to meet Richard Branson also. So much so I created [...]

Test for authenticity

August 21, 2008

I was reading Seth Godin’s article about Real vs Slick and it my mind thought people resonate with real people.  They like authentic people.  That is why a lot of Internet Marketers are not highly thought of.  Kinda of like used car sales people.  People like real people.  Not flashy marketers but real people that [...]

The Long Tail and the Dip

August 15, 2008

I loved Seth’s book on the Dip.  Here Seth explains the Long Tail and the Dip together.  Excellent.
The most common misconception about Long Tail thinking is that if you don’t succeed at pocket 1, don’t worry, because the tail will take care of your product and you’ll just end up in #2. That’s not true. [...]

Escaping the Amish

August 13, 2008

Back in the late 1990’s I wanted to be Amish.  I wanted freedom in what I considered an unfree world.  I wanted to live my life happy and thought being Amish would do that.

How to keep your software up to date

August 11, 2008

I’m tried to use software update checkers for my computers for years.  In the past they all were awful.  FileHippo.com has changed all that.  They have a beta program that is fantastic and easy to use.  I have no idea why they are still calling it beta when it works so nicely.  Their update checker [...]

Yesterday I was listening to Paul McCartney.  I’m in an home exchange here in Paris France and they have a bunch of Paul’s albums.  So I’m listening to them and enjoying them.  He writes and sings about love and it fit in very well with our stay here in Paris.
