Date August 31, 2010

Multitasking is a Myth

Date June 15, 2010

We see it all the time… A driver talking on their cellphone, kids doing homework with music playing, people talking to friends with a TV playing in the background. It is called multitasking – doing more than one thing at a time.  And, with our busy world, it seems to be a critical skill. Or [...]

Teach Your Kids About Entrepreneurship

Date June 8, 2010

Kids are natural entrepreneurs.  They trade amongst themselves and are creative in coming up with money making ideas. Unfortunately we usually squelch this early creativity and soon turn them into mindless work drones The problem starts with parents.  Most parents have worked at jobs all their life.  It is all they know.   So a kid [...]

I HATE Prelaunches!

Date March 19, 2010
