You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.

When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.

  • How to Create like an Artist and Think like an Entrepreneur

    There’s a tension that many artists carry: the belief that they must choose, between being the artist, drifting in the realm of intuition, inspiration, and muse… or the entrepreneur, anchored in metrics, markets, and making money. But that divide was manufactured. And in today’s world, it’s no longer just unhelpful – it’s unsustainable. The Starving…

  • Why Do We Give Up So Easily?

    In a word – DISCOMFORT. We don’t like it. We prefer COMFORT. Anytime we start feeling UNCOMFORTABLE we quit-stop-throw in the towel – you get the picture. Ideas make us interesting. Decisions make us bold. But only action makes us great! – Jeff Shore I love talking and sharing ideas. It makes me feel as…

  • If Your Business Plan & Model are Based on Fictitious Assumptions You’re Finished BEFORE You Even Start!

    So many great ideas out there but none are getting implemented because the banks won’t lend and investors won’t invest. The world has never been without dreamers. Everyone has a great idea and most think that all it takes is MONEY to get it done. We fixate, we obsess on money. Even non-profits experience this…

  • Go, go, go shawty It’s your birthday

    And so it is. Today is my birthday and for some reason, perhaps because the word “birthday” is in the lyrics I remembered 50 cent’s ‘In da Club’. Of course the only part of the song I really ‘heard’ or for that matter understood was: Go, go, go, go Go, go, go shawty It’s your…

  • Moving Beyond the Age Complex

    Recently I caught an interview with one of Hollywood’s oldest actors. I must confess I didn’t know him until I saw him in Wall Street – Money Never Sleeps. I wondered actually if they made up someone to look old and wise but was quite intrigued by this quiet but formidable character who, when he…
