The Startup Experts Pattern – choices.

As one of my readers pointed out there are not enough cross references between the percentages I presented in my previous post. I get the cross references from reading each and every questionnaire filled. But the software doesn’t analyze the connections between choice on question 1 and choice on question 6 for instance. Sometimes I read [...]

The Startup Experts Pattern

A couple on months ago I initiated a survey, aimed at learning my own market – the market of startups and hi-tech entrepreneurs and their approach to contracting expert help. I would like to share the current results on the startup pattern survey. An updated summary will be published when I have more responses. If you [...]

The sequence: getting back to work

Getting back from a vacation when you are an independent consultant is something else. You pick up at your pace. Men have a different pace than women. In the women’s paces you need to count some family paces too. Meaning, a woman business owner is responsible for getting her whole family back on track. The [...]

Vacation Can Happen!

I don’t have to submit a vacation request to my employer. I am an independent consultant, after all. I can come and go as I please. Last year I had heavy doubts before I dared to take some time off during the summer with the family. This year it was a little easier. I still worry [...]

Kindergarten and the molding of a community

A unique event took place yesterday in my city, Ramat-Gan. A neighborhood, that is - the group of parents and kids who live in the neighborhood, produced a show and brought food to a well organized farewell party, made in honor of a preschool teacher, who decided to retire after 25 years at the job. [...]

Summer observations.

Longer days. More hours of daylight. More demand for fun. Less time to work. More time with the kids. Vacation – a must. Thinning events. Too hot: Less time outside. More time for writing. Reading? Too hot. Nothing new. New projects? After the summer. addthis_pub [...]

The Best Networking Startup Competition

Am I in the right neighborhood, or what? I know all startups who won the TWS2008 Promising Israeli Startups Competition, held yesterday by “the.co.ils“.   I feel very “in”, to find out I am networked with the selected. All 10 finalists have been networking intensively and efficiently. You’ve seen the people or the company at every [...]

The lone consultant

Being a consultant can sometimes be really, really lonely. And this is true even on the busiest days. As I write this I am sitting in my office, at home. A small fridge is tempting me, but I can stay glued to my chair for hours, unless I have meetings outside. I got back to work [...]

Is entrepreneurship hereditary?

A tribute to my grandmother, who past away last night, 3 months away from her 101 birthday. My grandmother, Sara Sorkin was a born entrepreneur and a vibrant doer. Startupseeds would have loved to recruit ladies like her. But they came nearly 100 years too late. I am not sure I know all her stories or that [...]

Can the network do it? Peace on Earth?

I recently joined a social network called mepeace.org. This network, built on my favorite NING platform, suggests a platform for peace making in the Middle East. Let’s start by communicating, says Eyal Raviv, a relatively new immigrant from New-York and a former Yeshiva student who established this network about a year ago. The network now [...]

Connecting students around the globe

I have a vision where students connect with their peers from around the world. Why? Because it's interesting. It's challenging to create global friendships, across cultures and across seas. And it's interesting to learn what other are studying. Even the very precise studies, like math, are not exact all over the world. Sometimes you need help figuring out a problem and someone from across the world, who studied it in a different way, will offer that different angle that opens your eyes. This is… Continue
