Last night I re-re-re-watched the movie Social Network and it reminded me of the game Werewolves, ala a personal event many months ago. At the urging of a friend that I was working with, I joined into a “party” game that the company team was playing. I guess it has many variations, and this one was [...]

Normally, I keep my blog topics very separate, but I just posted a very personal and enlightened entry on the Startup-Strategy blog that crosses that line. Find it here jeff
Customers are wrong, don’t listen 2 comments
When asked, customers will usually tell you that they’d like “more choices” as something that would motivate them to “buy more.” On the surface, that logic sounds right. It ain’t. Did you know that the more choices you have on your website, the more business you are losing? Its a well-documented behavior that when you [...]

My 5 year-old’s Xmas present? Choosing. 4 comments
In a post a few months back, I spouted off about how Choosing is Hard, as well as posted a video on my Startup-Strategy.com blog (also at the bottom of this post). Since then, I’ve repeated that phrase countless times in workshops, 1to1 consulting meetings, and various business conversations. And, without exception, everyone I say it to [...]

Who’s Hungry (for knowledge)?! 2 comments
First, thanks to everyone who responded to my PartnerCon Power Lunch invitation, both here, in email and on FB. There were 30 of you total, and there’s NO WAY I could find a place that would hold us all (my original thought when I started this, was “Let’s invite everyone who responds”). Just. Overwhelmed. Every one of [...]
Can photography create art? 10 comments
There’s been a resurgence of discussion recently (mostly in tweets) about how important “art” is to the overall success of an “artistic” business. Well, we all know how hard art is to truly define and my views on this are pretty well established. However, I encountered something recently that hit me as having all the [...]
Going fishing is good for business 7 comments
There’s an old saying, “Give someone a fish, and you feed them for one meal; teach them to fish and they are fed for life.” There are two powerful messages here. The first is the one we all see: Education is a better form of charity. The second resonates with me, personally: Don’t be lazy [...]
Dream a Little Dream 3 comments
To say I’m a little obsessed with Christopher Nolan’s movies is, like his storytelling, understated. I truly appreciate how ultra-lean his productions are. Nothing wasted. No filler dialogue. No unneeded scenes. Sparse. Concise. Heck, the guy can even tell an intricate mystery without resorting to red herrings… Amazing. So, with the appreciation that every scene, [...]
