Others will come from new authors with ideas the world needs to know about. We'd be thrilled if Malcolm Gladwell wanted to write a TED book.” Brevity has certainly proved an asset at the TED conferences. Restricting TEDtalks contributions to 18 minutes ...

UPDATE: I wrote this review on Monday, and on Tuesday, 37signals had an unscheduled maintenance issue that affected Highrise. I have an unresolved issue with the help desk related to the outage. So, my whole-hearted endorsement is on hold pending closure of that issue. More when I know more.

You could probably use Highrise with a PC... but, why would you?

This might be a great reason to switch to the Mac. Stranger things have happened.

Reading this post several hours after writing it, made me wonder (out loud) if readers would know my gift. Just in case you do not, here it is (drum roll please): focus.

By applying focus to your challenge (part of my "Purple Curve" framework), I can produce results in 90 days that most business catalysts might only dream. A project this summer in Ohio resulted in 1028.6% ROI in just 90 days. Yes, you read that correctly. Every sawbuck invested ($10.00USD; and they were many!) returned gross margins in excess of $700.

So, what ARE you waiting for?

Just ran across another reference this morning from one of my heroes and long distance mentors: Kenichi Ohmae. In his book, "The Borderless World" he was referencing an earlier work ("The Mind of the Strategist") where he said great strategies "... originate in insights that are beyond the reach of conscious analysis."

Unless, you practice for just such scenarios... part of Ron Finklestein's "One Degree of Difference" I should think.

Ever notice how connected the universe is?

Honest, 90 days is more than enough time to get your business back in the black. Ask me about the hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Or the American custom motorcycle OEM in Iowa. Or the silicon valley software startup.

Many thanks to Geoffrey Moore and his book "Crossing the Chasm" for the insight to craft a thorough positioning statement. Just one of the proven approaches employed at Throughput.us to fight status quo.
