I admit it. I’ve been guilty of this. And, I should know better! But, like that famous Michael Jackson song- I’m looking at the man in the mirror- and I’m changing…

You are (not) a pain in my…
I have broken more than a few bones- more than a few times each. I’ve been in a few wrecks. And, just a few weeks ago, I managed to obtain (now, there’s a verb choice) a second and third degree burn on my left arm. I was stunned- performed the best first aid I could and bundled myself off to the emergency clinic.
Formulaic!
Chemical equations define what reactions occur when various materials are mixed. Now, that actually has a good business purpose- because we want to be able to make our products consistently. (And, don’t think that baking your cake or making your dinner via a recipe is any different.)
80 y old- Last Legs?
The Ten Commandments. The Bridge Over The River Kwai. I Want to Live. Ben Hur. Some Like It Hot. Spartacus.

Your new product is ready- but, you don’t have enough money to bring it to market. Do you search for angels? venture capital? crowdsource? That last choice is the new one, the one made possible by the Jobs Act (reported here), where you convince folks (typically LOTS of folks) to provide you with a small amount of money (each, but it should be lots in total). Typically, those folks want something in return. There are internet sites that makes crowdsourcing all possible. Kickstarter, Indiegogo, AngelList are three such sites.
First, do no harm?
I’ve written that it is critical to examine one’s business environment often. To insure that what we are doing will make sense- and money- inf the future. Most of us lack lobbyists at our beck and call to insure our business is not overcome by those changes.
Broken Bat?
Go, Phils! (I know, we are not doing well- but I still support them. With a 2+ hour drive – each way- as a season ticket holder. I even got back last night at 2 AM- and was at a meeting by 5:20 AM this morning.) I’ve been a Phanatic since I was 12. When Jim Bunning pitched a perfect game on Father’s Day. But, I’m not writing about the Phils, per se…
Breastfeeding has even more benefits for children
I’ve written about breastfeeding before- for example, it’s potential ability to preclude asthma in these breastfed children. Well, now, there seems to be another reason. Breastfed children may not develop ADHD [Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder].
