Startup Show

Listen to this now! Discuss at noon MDT!

CHECK THIS OUT! This is a great example of how real businesses actually start! (And a great example of the conventional wisdom that the entrepreneur is drawn to after the start, something almost no successful startup actually does.): https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/12-look-sideways-with-google-vmwares-diane-greene/id1227971746?i=1000394639763&mt=2

"It Works If You Work It." Does it really?

What do you think?

The phrase "it works" (green line) was not used much until after the American revolution, and "if you work it" has never been widely used, unless it's use has changed since 2008, the most recent year currently available via nGram View (Google the term if you don't know about nGrams.)

Let's discuss this on our IDEA Cafe Twitter Chat this week, ok? Twitter @IDEACafeChat, post any time, live chat at 10 a.m. MDT weekdays. Use #IDEACafeChat when you post to be part of the conversation this week.

Is this why 80% of people now say they hate their job?

According to Nobel Prize winning economist Edmund Phelps the lack of dynamism and vitalism that had previously driven the economic growth of the USA started a sharp decline in the late 60s and early 70s. How much of that decline was because of an increased focus on startup in the media with a mistaken view of the importance of business planning?

Mom gives birth to new business.

BURLINGTON, ON, March 6, 2017 /CNW/ - A Burlington mom who turned an idea to help her son's teething issue into a sought after baby product, and now a global business has won the 2017 Mompreneur® StartUp Award.

Melissa Seifert-Hyslop, wife and mother of two who lives in Burlington's Orchard area was among six finalists in the fifth annual awards. Although surprised that she won because of the extremely talented competition, she is humbled and honoured. "After a very long 2 1/2 years of research, design, mistakes, re-design, development…and a second baby, the Munch Mitt was launched in retail at New York Toy Fair in 2015 with an overwhelming positive response from trade peers. So much so

Life's short, start now!

An announcement in celebration of MLK.

Today I'm making an annoncement about a chage I'm suggesting we make on the way we celebrate Martin Luther King Day given the pantheon of American Heros who devoted there lives to give us our freedom, starting with Benjamin Franklin who's birthday yesterday and every January 17 is celebrated more by the breach than the observance as Shakespeare put it about another hero long, long ago. 

I've also decided to make this announcement about the SBCC and the Startup Show: 

Today 1st Monday of daily version of the Startup Show, changing the time of the half hour show to 12:15 pm Mountain. 

The focus will be on the Good News for tomorrow, the Good News in work, family, neighborhoods, communities, and nations.

I believe there is hope for Good News tomorrow because of the research I've been inspired to do over the last 20+ years that has resulted in the discovery of what I'm now calling the SBCC Spiritual Startup Method's 4 Practices: Faith, Imagination, Thinking, and Life-long Learning. 

Today on the Startup Show-the practice of Imagination. 

We'll also talk about this at Root & Branch discussion meeting this afternoon, open to anyone who is interested in a spiritual way of living. 

For more about the show and the meeting see http://Meetup.com/Small-Biz-Chamber 

Next week we will begin having guests on the Startup Show each day. 

If you'd like to be on the show to share your startup experience, or if you have a suggestion for who we should invite, call me on the Startup Line, (303)861-1447.
