If you’re reading this, then it’s very likely that I reached your attention (maybe twice now , potentially created a visceral emotional reaction, and maybe even offended you.  But at what cost, did it communicate the right message, and how many people still didn’t care or even noticed that it happened?  I mean, the picture [...]

Soft Language — Never use hard words like:  always, very, never, extremely, or recommend. When necessary, it may potentially be beneficial to use words like:  suggest, perhaps, potentially, sometimes, often and may. We, Not I — We are a team, and so anything we say in written or oral form must express that. The only [...]

After witnessing one of the closest people in my life pass from cancer, a few childhood friends losing their parents to cancer, and seeing the home where I was born and raised ravished by floods, I’m thinking and soul searching more than ever. What is the meaning of life? We’ve all asked that question. I [...]

I’m sure there are very few of you who will care about the journey that led me to found evolyte, but I wanted to get it out on the internet so my son and my daughter could someday read this, and remind them that believing in themselves and following their dreams are the most important [...]

See the full gallery on Posterous When’s the last time you saw an Android device available for public use? I’ve now seen iPads used in retail and travel settings, both in New York City. I’m sure you can extrapolate where the trend is heading next. My only other question is, why haven’t you bought Apple [...]

An unedited email I just sent a friend regarding his trust and whether his trustee should invest in Apple or not.  You can’t see the email exchange, but you may be able to decipher it:   Hey man, a few comments as it relates to portfolio theory, my own experience running an equity-based investment shop, [...]

It’s like a battery. You really don’t care about it until it stops working. Rules: Branding — Seemingly every company, large or small, tries to position themselves on “great customer service”. So you’re saying you want your company’s brand to be a commodity? Heart — If it doesn’t come from the heart, why even start? [...]

Richard Feynman famously asked: “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?” “The same mathematics of networks that governs the interactions of molecules in a cell, neurons in [...]

Concept The concept of the income statement is actually pretty easy to understand and you’re likely already familiar with it: Sales – costs = income It’s just like your bank account. When you get paid from your job, that’s like sales (or more formally, revenue). When you blow part of your income buying out your [...]

I’ve been using this example a lot in client meetings lately because it tells a pretty compelling story about why we can’t turn off TMZ and have 18 subscriptions to US Weekly. From a 2005 ABC News article: Dr. Michael Platt, a neurobiologist at Duke University Medical Center, led an experiment with 12 adult male [...]

Humor — There’s a reason eTrade continues to use the baby in their commercials. Love — For teenage girls, Justin Bieber will never cheat on them, he will always make them feel special, these girls don’t have to compete with their friends for his attention, and he’s only a tweet or MP3 away. Sex — [...]

I have a few rules: No Debt — If you’re exploring a capital intensive business and need to raise debt to fund it, my question is why?  Why would you take the financial risk of the business not working out?  Examples include large inventory expenses for retail or manufacturing operations (unless you can pre-fund it [...]

From Jason Fried, founder of 37Signals, the guys behind Ruby on Rails and Basecamp project management software, on their organizational structure: What we learned is that adding a dedicated manager and creating a hierarchy is not the only way to create structure. Instead, we decided to let the team be entirely self-managed. There’s still a [...]

I thought I’d write down a few operating principles I’ve come up with over the years, before my alzheimers kicks in. Hopefully, I can continue to add to and refine this list over the years. You’ll likely not agree with all of these, but it represents a summary of my experiences, my formal education, anecdotal evidence, and a bit of hocus pocus I’ve seen work. Let’s dig right in, shall we?

This is starting to get ridiculous…
