This is a post that I’ve been thinking about writing for a while now. When I told my husband that I wanted to write a post on dyslexia, we had a joke-a-thon of all the clever lines that I should include. Things like: “Why do you suppose syldexicbogger.com is taken but dyslexicblogger.com is still available?” […]
Entrepreneurs, Product Managers and other otherwise intelligent people often get distracted by their ambition. Everything from Disney to these Out of the Box management (I mean leadership) books keep hitting you with hyperbole about dreaming big. Which is only OK if you also have the discipline to think and act small. Take Google. They have […]
I’m doing it! After working at the same company for nearly 10 years, I’ve decided to give it a go on my own. I’ve been planning this for some time now. When I started The Pet Wiki nearly a year ago, I knew that there was a serious chance that this might happen, and to […]
In a few seconds last night I turned from a Toshiba fan to an enemy. Was I overreacting? Definitely. Is this an unusual reaction? No. “Toshiba says: ‘No matter what’ … unique guarantee on all laptops for free” No matter what* * Terms and conditions apply from Toshiba’s site “No matter what, terms and conditions […]
First let me admit that I didn’t consider myself a fan of Seth Godin. Maybe not his fault, but I was just annoyed by a bunch of Godin groupies that I felt over-simplified his ideas. Maybe it was all in my mind, but I felt I kept hearing Godin groupies telling me to think outside […]
Just had a lot of fun doing this video on How Not to Answer “What is Your Greatest Weakness” for NoStupidAnswers (BTW, yes, there are stupid answers, as the video clearly demonstrates). Pnina Baumgarten was my partner on the video and Lea Aharonovitch filmed and posted it. Here’s a text answer to the question WikiAnswers: […]
I’ve been having fun. To set up my blog just how I like it, I’ve been looking for useful widgets to add. There are a ton of great ones out there. Here’s a list of my favorites: Akismet – Spam is a huge problem with any blog. The amount of spam seems to grow every […]
I was just crying over the Lincoln assassination (news travels slowly around here). Doris Goodwins’ excellent Team of Rivals’ primary theme is a management lesson. Here are my top 9 management takeaways. 9. Surround Yourself By People On Different Sides This is the book’s primary management lesson. Bring the people who are on opposite sides […]
Deep breath… My blog is now on renareich.com. This is a big step for me. I am now in full control of how the blog will look. It’s very exciting. All that I needed to do in the end was (under tools) export the blog as xml and then import it into the new blog. […]
I’ve really been enjoying Seth Godin’s blog. But boy did he cheat in his post Malcolm is Wrong. “I’ve never written those three words before, but he’s never disagreed with Chris Anderson before, so there you go.” Cute beginning for a post. “Free is the name of Chris’s new book, and it’s going to be […]
