Sometimes you need to give yourself a pep talk.

Fight the fight until you can't - and then get up and fight again.  I wrote this when I needed a pep talk .... a really big pep talk.   I thought... well, if it ends well I will finish and publish it and if not, well hey, I won't...

Fight the fight is probably not the speech you want to tell your children as we are all raised to play nice in the sandbox.  However, this is exactly the line you are supposed to tell an #entrepreneur. Sometimes being an #entrepreneur is like being a bozo punching bag. Not sure if you grasp the analogy but years ago this was an inflatable toy with a sand filled bottom.  Every time you punched Bozo (regardless of how hard) he bounced right back up.

I swear - there is a path - and when you are on the right path, every time it looks like the pavers end - all of a sudden the path continues.

Today, businesses are still trying to assess how they monetize social media and tie it to incremental revenues. This is like trying to assess the revenues you get from philanthropy. In the end, you really don't know what it was that drew the customer in, and frankly it could have been one or many different pulls. But if it's the right thing to do, you're supposed to do it. Eventually, the smart companies will realize that this is the way to do business and you either adapt or you fold. Based on this, one would expect yet another industrial revolution, due to the advancement of technology, in the next five years.

Wow, that sounded truly geeky - maybe I will catch up

The goal of the prelaunch is to get feedback.  We will give away thousands of samples for people to try and all we will ask for is feedback.  The bloggers and textbooks refer to it as innovating.  But for me it just makes logical sense, the customers should be the ones to tell you what they really like and want.

The people who have come into my life along this path of entrepreneurship have been nothing short of a miracle. How I found the lawyers and then the scientists were shocking to say the least.
