One of the hardest part of starting a business is finding the idea itself. Yes, ideas are all around us but spotting that one million dollar idea is not easy. Before any entrepreneur became successful there was a time they did not know what to do. And then the “Aha!” moment happened. How? Some Aha…
What is a brand? To be clear about what we mean by brand – it is more than a mark emblazoned upon your butt. It is a word that tries to capture your entirety in a single syllable or, perhaps even more precisely, it is the feeling that is evoked when someone thinks about you….
For anyone who has ever coded anything, you will know that smug sense of self satisfaction that you get when it actually works. That sense of achievement. The sense that you created something.
Well, here we are. Having made it past 21 December, perhaps now would be a good time for us to look back and reflect on the year that was so we can relax over the holidays and think about plans for the coming New Year. I’d like to share with you some advice from a morning that I spent last year with the Wizard of Wow himself, Paul Dunn. I think you might find these insights to be worth pondering over your happy holidays.
The value of this work lies in its ability to attract a completely new set of readers, when compared with other books on Jobs. Let me cite a personal experience.

What can’t be denied is the film’s assertion that the business world is now the domain of Gen-Y entrepreneurs, who have the smarts and creativity to bring their billion-dollar ideas to life. Spurred on by the success of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, young men such as Zuckerberg have created successful businesses all through the typing of code on a computer screen.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates, long removed from his days as soulless overlord of the company that ruled our PCs, warms up for his appearance at the G-20 with this interview, in which he talks about taxing the rich, helping Third World nations and… Steve Jobs.
