Is Entrepreneurs Crazy?

July 28, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Anita RoddickAnita Roddick, Activist & Founder of The Body Shop once said“There is a fine line between an entrepreneur and a crazy person. Crazy people see things that others don’t. What seems to differentiate the entrepreneur from the crazy person is that the former gets other people to believe in his vision.”

Many people dream of becoming an entrepreneur but they are not willing to be “carzy”. What I mean here is to think and act differently from the majority. Just like Anita Roddick has mentioned in her quote above that what differentiate a crazy person and a good entrepreneur is that an entrepreneur can convince other people to follow his/ her vision and take action to make that vision comes true.

So for your budding entrepreneurs, now start thinking “What can I do differently to help my clients achieve their goals?”.

Apple iPhone is On Sale Now!

June 29, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Finally the Apple iPhone is on sale. There’s a few more hours before the store opens but there are already so many people queuing up in front of the New York Apple store to purchase the new Apple iPhone. What can we learn from Apple?

Apple iPhone in New YorkFirst, Apple is doesn’t create a whole new hi-tech product that normally requires a lot of education and advertising. However, they always ride on the trend, such as the iPod which is not the first mp3 portable music players, and create a product that the customers would desire to have through their design and intuitive interface and features.

Secondly, they are able to create a whole set of back-end products such as selling music and now videos through their iTune which gives lots of profits.

I believe there are a lot more we can learn from Apple but for me these are 2 good learnings that I do learn from Apple and now thinking how I can model these learning onto my business. If you have any additional tips or ideas, please do comment. Thanks.
