In the past few days, two more sites have joined my creations.
- TruePriority.com – The team and I are morphing an internal project into it’s own, full fledged, and very limited mini-app. True Priority imports all of your time tracking data – (the initial version will only use Freckle) and with only a few inputs from you, prioritize your projects and tasks automatically, so you can work on projects that actually make money, and not just projects owned by insistent clients. It is the dashboard for the intelligent creative small business. It does all of the revenue and cost projection that you wish you could do with Quickbooks as well.

I recently ate breakfast with a few other local business types (one the head of the best event staffing company in Atlanta) and one of them presented an interesting problem. He told the story of a former staff member who had made what seemed (to him) to be an obvious mistake. He seemed to think that this was caused by an inborn flaw that could never be fixed. The dilemma, should he have gotten rid of the staffer or worked around the staffer? The majority of people agreed with the inborn flaw theory, but that he should just work around the flaw.

The Problem: You have have Clear Wireless internet service, as well as a wifi network, and you get periodic drops and random slowness. You contact tech support, and they tell you to make sure that the wifi router and the Clear Wimax receiver are at least two feet apart. That does make sense, since the two units are fighting for limited parts of the radio spectrum. You move the two apart, but that does not fix the problem.

One surprising claim in David Rock’s book was that evolution hardwired a desire for zero-sum status in our brains. That is to say, I feel good when I am somehow superior to someone else. There must be a winner and a loser. I thought the status claim was a bit dubious. I’ve never felt like someone is dramatically above or below me in some social pecking order. If it never applied to me, how can it apply to anyone else?

I had a wonderful time yesterday at the Startup Showcase at the Georgia Tech Future Media festival. It was thought provoking on many, many levels. One of the most insightful moments was when I realized that everyone referred to Stronico as “Social Network Analysis” in contrast to the term I use which is “Personal Network Visualization”. Both of them mean the same thing, but majority does rule in popular terminology.

One lesson I learned (not from anything specifically said, purely a deduction) from this excellent Mixergy interview with Brian Crane of LuckyGunner.com is to NOT weave small thoughts into the big picture, but to instead let them be small thoughts. Apparently LuckyGunner.com succeeds by chasing the long tail. Therefore I am going to keep the “How To Fix” and “Code Sample” series, but keep the meta blogging about business and network theory to a minimum.

Over the years I have met many alumni of the Turner Empire (CNN/Turner Broadcasting/Turner Enterprises/WCW/TBS/Braves/Hawks, etc) and most of them have told me some version of the following story.
[Setup - In the early days of CNN and Turner Broadcasting Ted Turner would prowl his office building and drop in unannounced into random meetings. One day he walked into a meeting where people were planning a cross-channel week-long special on dinosaurs] Continue reading “The Turner Rule in Marketing and Branding” »
