"The Guardian Life Small Business Research Institute report hopes to explain why only 1 in 2 small businesses will survive more than five years, according to Small Business Administration figures. The study - called Six Dimensions That Characterize Success-Oriented Small Business Owners - is based on analysis of a survey of 1,100 small businesses with between 2 and 99 employees. (The Institute is run by the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, and it conducts ongoing research on what it calls "the Index of What Matters Most" to small businesses.) Top of the list for successful entrepreneurs is the ability to collaborate. Those who can delegate, build strong relationships with their management teams, employees, and others are more likely to click with customers."

" Most people have 5 to 10 major interests in their lives. Whether it is food, gym, sports, kids, music, gaming, shopping, photography, movies, professional interests, medical, reading, homework ... People are also far more interested in making things happen and organizing their future than bragging about their immediate past. Could a generalist social network life Facebook or Google+ be in the position to organize everyone's life around any interest, in any region? I already moved away from Facebook and Google+ to Linked In for anything professional and I am sure I am not the only one, nor the last one. The value of my network is not about its size but about the activities I do with it. That is disruptive, and there is no amount of instagrams or some magical Graph API that can resist that disruption."

"While Yahoo was optimizing their home page in 2001, the guys at Google were inventing something totally new. That's one reason I resist the temptation to optimize this blog for traffic and yield. I'd rather force myself to improve it by having the guts to write better posts instead."

Beware the Nile perch It's a huge freshwater fish, easy to catch and eat, and tempting to introduce into non-native waters. And when it shows up? It will eat everything it can and probably drive competitive smaller fish extinct. Good intentions are rewarded with plenty of Nile perch (for now) but a degraded ecosystem in the long run. There are bright shiny objects you can bring into your life (that project, that employee, that new office) that might just push the other useful items aside. You get hooked on them or they demand more attention or they make too much noise and the less-shiny projects or people whither away. An art museum brings in a traveling show from a famous artist. It's important, expensive, time-consuming and brings big crowds. For the next six months, all eyes are on the big show. And then, of course, a vacuum, because the important but less glamorous work didn't get done. A lawsuit or a merger or a shift to a new office space might seem like a good idea at the time--but be careful what you wish for. The Nile perch is nefarious yet applauded (in the short run). Don't be afraid to call it when you see it.
