Maybe some enterprising entrepreneur out there can set up a website where you can barter in a 3-way exchange? Just a thought! 2008-04-10T11:27:27.775+02:00 2008-04-10T11:27:27.775+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=sjusc&conv=1339252&comment_id=25271061 Ben Thank you so much for mentioning us on your blog, Filip :) 2008-04-09T08:38:25.608+02:00 2008-04-09T08:38:25.608+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=sjusc&conv=1320018&comment_id=25048031 Andrew That looks viciously powerful, Hendy. I'm jealous! 2008-03-27T03:29:01.066+01:00 2008-03-27T03:29:01.066+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=sjusc&conv=1317806&comment_id=25023521 Ben Jim Collins teaches a fundamental approaching to running a business: staying within your core (or Hedgehog). That prevents you from jumping on fads, and keeps you focused excelling and growing at what you do. Great stuff. 2008-03-25T22:13:37.816+01:00 2008-03-25T22:13:37.816+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=sjusc&conv=1315775&comment_id=24978728 Ben Hi Ivana, His 7 triggers remind me of an amazing social psychology book, Influence -- by Cialdini. Cialdini's book has been around for quite some time, and it actually explains the majority of Russell's seven triggers (probably all of it, although I might be confusing his journal articles with his Influence book). 2008-03-24T20:55:37.536+01:00 2008-03-24T20:55:37.536+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=sjusc&conv=1314281&comment_id=24961327 Ben It's challenging to replicate someone else's efforts because, as you've mentioned, they drove their success based on their unique strengths/talents/skills that they've developed over their lives. I think succeeding takes leveraging what you've learned and developed over the years, so you don't start from total scratch. That gives you a much better head start to succeed in whatever you're doing -- and anyone looking to replicate your efforts will have to take years to learn what you know. 2008-03-23T22:54:04.132+01:00 2008-03-23T22:54:04.132+01:00
