How Great Entrepreneurs Think What distinguishes great entrepreneurs? Discussions of entrepreneurial psychology typically focus on creativity, tolerance for risk, and the desire for achievement—enviable traits that, unfortunately, are not very teachable. So Saras Sarasvathy, a professor at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, set out to determine how expert entrepreneurs think, with the goal of transferring that knowledge to aspiring founders. While still a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon, Sarasvathy—with the guidance of her thesis supervisor, the Nobel laureate Herbert Simon—embarked on an audacious project: to eavesdrop on the thinking of the country's most successful entrepreneurs as they grappled with business problems.
Treasures Ministries: The Sex Industry Isnt the Problem The Sex Industry Isn’t the Problem This morning on my way to drop my daughter off at pre-school, I passed by a girl I can only assume was working the Sepulveda track. I say this because nobody else was wearing stilettos, micro mini cut off shorts and no jacket at 8am in 45-degree weather. She walked with her knees slightly bent and wobbling as if to try not to put pressure on her feet, which must have been sore and cold, if she had been out there all night. When she stopped on the corner, a man waiting for his bus looked at her as he would a store window.

Aces Wild The New York Times has called it “the country’s most original hotel” and at the pulse of the Ace Hotel brand stands Alex Calderwood, one of the boutique’s owners.

Here, Calderwood talks about the inspiration behind his Seattle, Portland, Palm Springs, and New York gathering spots. Seattle
New Car-Share Service Lets Your Rent Your Wheels For Extra Cash Photo by Alex92287 via Flickr Creative Commons One of our favorite alternatives to hotels is Airbnb, a service that lets you rent out your extra bed to weary travelers to make a little extra cash and helps the traveler save money. It's a peer-based product service system that makes the best use of available resources, and it's smart thinking. That's essentially the model behind a new car-sharing service called GetAround, which has just launched into Beta mode. If your car sits in a parking lot all day, you might have a new way to put it to work for you and help someone who needs some wheels for just a couple hours. GetAround is a basic idea -- most of our cars aren't in use during the day.

SEO for Non-dicks - Matt Legend Gemmell I recently read an account of John McElborough’s talk at Brighton SEO 2011, wherein he advocated some ethically questionable SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) tactics involving creating a private network of fake blogs. I don’t know John or his work, but this entire side of internet marketing and promotion makes me sad – and a bit angry. I fully acknowledge the value of, and need for, actual SEO; I just think that in many cases, the tactics employed under that title would better be described as Search Engine Manipulation or even Abuse.
