Than what? That thing you’ve been putting off for months now. That new business venture you’ve been talking about. That great idea for an iPhone app you thought about.

Younger Dr. Emmett Brown: [running out of the room] 1.21 gigawatts? 1.21 gigawatts? Great Scott! Marty McFly: [following] What-what the hell is a gigawatt? ~ Back to the Future – 1985 (quotes from IMDB) I’m not exactly sure why Doc Brown and Marty McFly popped into my head this morning.

I read an interesting post on BrandAutopsy this morning. John Moore reviewed the new business book Success Made Simple – An Inside Look At Why Amish Businesses Thrive. As John says,”According to a recent study, less than 5% of Amish businesses fail within their first five years. That’s astounding considering 50% of (non-Amish) small businesses [...]

I heard someone say recently, and I quote, “my job is no fun. I literally have the worst job in the world.” Now we can almost all assume that by reading the above line, and not even knowing exactly what that person’s job is, or who that person is, they don’t really have the worst [...]
