{ I wrote a short-story called "The Moth Army" last semester in a Writing Class.. and if you're interested in reading it.. I might consider posting it tomorrow. It's ridiculously dramatic; but if you like that sort of thing.. this just might be your cup of tea.. }

Please: Do Take Note of This Note

This is just a little side-note...

Putin Pondering

(the question) Q: If you were Putin.. what would you do?

(my answer) A: If I were Putin.. I would send members of the Russia Army to find the missing pieces of the Malaysian airplane that crashed. Then they would reassemble these pieces.. weld them with a mix of new ones- and re-create the plane. Using heat detectors we'd find the missing passengers that were still alive.. and then return them to their loved ones. The world would love Russia.. and we'd be regarded as the superior nation. Then... shortly afterwards- approximately a week later- we'd fly the repaired Malaysian airplane to the North Pole.

  Once we arrived in the North Pole.. we'd declare war,

Take-Aways From Today

And now.. to launch an all-new series called.."Take Aways From Today"

{A collection of things that I learned in today's entrepreneurship class.. from a variety of different sources.}

-Work on your business. Not in it.

-Don't keep hiring yourself.. no matter how accessible you are to you.

-Outsourcing is brilliant...but can become very complicated quite quickly... 

{I see outsourcing like a spiderweb. It branches out in many directions and then before you know it you have one complex, tangled, and intertwined spider web going left and right and up and down. A chaotic world of connections.)

^hope that imagery makes some sense

(and now for a Take-Away From Wednesday..)

What We Know...

"Start-ups are not smaller versions of large companies"
-Steve Blank

my response: Start-ups are large companies in smaller form. It's amazing how intimidating larger companies can seem to an entrepreneur who's fresh to the field.
That shouldn't stop anyone. Just because your "small little business" seems inferior does not mean that it is.

{This topic brings to mind a company called Boxpark that are based in the United Kingdom. Their merchandise is uniquely sold/displayed in old shipping containers.. and all the shipping containers come together as a whole... as one- "Boxpark".  Each store is really quite small. .. but some of them could end up being quite successful. Moonfruit-web hosting- even has a lot in the mall.. and they give presentations on marketing, google analytics.. etc. The stores are small but they're accomplishing a lot.

Here's a link. http://www.boxpark.co.uk/about/
