Know your Shit
I was sitting on my couch this morning wrapped up in my snuggie (it was a left over from thursday nights snuggie bar crawl with 40 of my closest friends) and reading forbes, some industry info, and other things. It struck me that a good part of my job as CEO is simply to know my shit and be a super sponge for info.
Knowledge is power.
If your going to be good at business that means you always need to get better at business. Take time to read, listen, learn, and ask wise people what they think, and make sure to ask questions.
My grandfather survived the great depression. On my last trip back to Detroit I asked him lots of questions about “the last time” we had a depression. He was very helpful and insightful. Its alot easier to learn from someone that has been there than to try and re-invent the wheel.

There are some attention-grabbing points in time in this article however I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There’s some validity but I’ll take hold opinion till I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we would like more! Added to FeedBurner as well

That is the suitable blog for anybody who desires to search out out about this topic. You realize a lot its nearly onerous to argue with you (not that I actually would need…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, just great!

This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen
