The Influence of the Media
The Influence of the Media Over the last few years there has been a much greater media interest in entrepreneurship with television programmes such as The Mind of a Millionaire as well as more newspaper stories and features on business success. These stories often focus on get-rich-quick schemes and people are often portrayed as overnight successes.

Entrepreneurship vs self-employment
Entrepreneurship ? self-employment In the 1970s the economist E. F. Schumacher set the scene for environmental sustainability with Small is Beautiful. But small is not beautiful for entrepreneurs: small is a stigma.

Small connotes self-employment and stagnation, which is not only different from entrepreneurship; it is fundamentally its opposite.

Marketing Plan 101
Marketing Plan 101 There are literally volumes written about marketing planning. It boils down to developing your roadmap. What paths will you take, which turns will you make and, most important of all, where are you going?

Unless you have an endpoint on your road map, how do you know which path to take? In the words of Yogi Berra: “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.”

A Business man Father to Son: Letter No. 4
A Business man Father to Son: Letter No. 4 Your request in the letter is as clichéd as a puppy chasing its tail; often then not, it does not know what to do with it once its caught. But I gather from it that you want to spend a couple of months in Europe before coming on here and getting your hands dirty.

Of course, you are your own boss now and you ought to be able to judge better than any one else how much time you have to waste,

A Business man Father to Son: Letter No. 3
A Business man Father to Son: Letter No. 3 Dear Pierrepont: No, I can’t say that I think anything of your post-graduate course idea. You’re not going to be a poet or a professor, but a packer, and the place to take a post-graduate course for that calling is in the packing-house.

Some men learn all they know from books; others from life; both kinds are narrow.
