Pattern Recognition

BY LK HANSEN : : THE NEW YEAR IS QUICKLY APPROACHING. ALONG WITH IT ARE MILLIONS OF SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS RESOLVING TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES IN THEIR COMPANIES.

Too often, those resolutions are a quick list with general items, like: ‘Contact current customers’ or ‘Run ad in newspaper’. Unfortunately, these good intentions dissipate into nothing more than a memory by February 1st. The likely culprits—a lack of clarity and focus. “The Power of Focus”, written by Les Hewitt, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, address how to work around these obstacles.

FROM BILL RONAT : : I READ ABOUT THIS COMPANY IN WIRED MAGAZINE. HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT? THEY DON'T WANT TO SELL YOU AN ELECTRIC CAR. THEY WANT TO SELL YOU MILES. The company is called Better Place and their plan is to put in an infrastructure of stations where you can swap out your battery if you are on the road, or charge you up when you are close to home. They plan to be operating in Hawaii and Israel within the next couple of years and they already have the support of car companies (not in the U.S., of course) and governments. If this catches on, remember I'm the one who told you about it.
