Why we misjudge introverts and what we can do about it
June 27, 2012 19:08 - 37 minutes - 17.2 MBPopular American business culture says that the more someone "participates" by talking aloud during a meeting or networking event, the more "active," "friendly" and "supportive" they are.

In this interview with Barbara Saunders, a "formerly shy introvert," we discuss: What is the correct definition of an introvert? What are common misco...

June 29, 2011 20:37 - 29 minutes - 33.5 MBBefore I interviewed CD Baby founder Derek Sivers, I asked my Twitter followers "What questions do you have for @sivers?" Someone asked "How extensive was his business plan?"

Do you make these data security mistakes?
December 28, 2010 00:42 - 25 minutes - 5.85 MBNote the rather uncharacteristic post title from my recent blog hack. The humor of the particular spam title and my post image was not lost on me.

May 22, 2009 21:11 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBMy love of books goes back to when I was about three years old. As soon as I could form the sentence "I want to go to the library," my Mom or Dad would take me every week to get a new stack of books. I remember the smell as I entered the San Anselmo library and strolled through the aisles. My senses tingled as I saw new stories, and I would have to negotiate with my Mom and Dad about how many I could carry home in a given week. This love stayed with me my entire life. Picture books turne...

Rowling lived near destitute while her Harry Potter manuscript got rejected by scores of publishers right before hitting it richer than the Queen of England?

The fact is, while you are failing, it feels really awful and does not become the enlightened lesson that you share until you have ten years perspective between you and the excruciating experience. Autho...
No excuse anymore to forgo a business plan
August 27, 2008 18:56 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MBMy original and only business plan for my company was based on a Dr. Suess book. I wish I were kidding. Owning up to my liberal arts major and rebellious roots, I didn't think I needed a "real" plan. And, for the most part, I did fine for a decade, securing lots of clients and making a good living. But honestly, I think that I was just not thinking about business planning the right way. I imagined reams of paper, onerous spreadsheets and carefully crafted mission statements. Yuck. Now...

July 02, 2008 18:05 - 40 minutes - 9.3 MBI have a pile of books to read and review next to my bathtub. The Go-Giver: A little story about a powerful business idea sat there for awhile, until I finally picked it up the other evening and started reading it.
