10 TED Talks for Entrepreneurs (via The Educated Entrepreneur’s Blog)

Fascinating, thanks for making these known!

10 TED Talks for Entrepreneurs A fellow entrepreneur gave me a slight nudge today that motivated me to post today's blog.  I think you will certainly find value in it as it incorporates some of the best minds of the 21st century. Remember…..    The secret to learning as an entrepreneur is to mix equal parts of inspiration and perspiration. Hard work without a vision is futile, while a great idea without execution is similarly worthless. In these TED talks, you'll find the in … Read More

The Death of a Website (via An Iconoclast’s Musings)

Um, could this not actually be completely true, please? I’m just getting re-established on good old-fashioned websites, am just not ready yet for them to all be already defunct. I can accept it all going in this direction, but would really like to believe there were some rhetorical flourishes included in this great piece, and that I can continue on my current path for a few more minutes..

Complaints and compliments: are you communicating? (via Social [Media] Butterflies)

Interesting points about communication – very crucial!

Complaints and compliments: are you communicating?     Within 24 hours its easy to immerse yourself into an organisation or business and see when people aren’t communicating effectively.

It’s also easier to notice the good things – the compliments. This is when you see something and think (or say) “aaa … Read More

Sweet Tweets (via Social Media Savvy)

Great article, always love to learn more!

Sweet Tweets Think Twitter is just a fad? Think again. In 2009, there were over 18 MILLION twitter users, and that number just continues to grow. Incredible. If you’ve never used Twitter, it can be intimidating, confusing, annoying, and/or overwhelming. But, it doesn’t have to be. If used correctly, Twitter can network you with hundreds, thousands or even millions of people that are experts in your fields of interest. Think of it as a unique combination of Fa … Read More
