Dear local restaurant,
Stop treating your thirsty customers like shit. Saving 40 cents on 1000 straws is no way to run a business.

Yesterday I *launched* Swantastic!, the site that will one day put airport rags like Entrepreneur Magazine to rest.

And as the founder of one of the world's most successful knockoff companies, I really can't think of anything wrong with it.

So what you're saying is that everyone has the right to be provided ...
Formspring has a nice simple concept. You set up an account and people can "ask you anything", and then if you choose to answer, it gets published on your page.
Here's my page....go on, "ask me anything".

The book Blue Ocean Strategy should be on the desk and in the mind of every entrepreneur and startup investor.

Now suppose you invent a ...
We already know that your idea is worth very little.
But I'll go one step further: It often sucks to base your business on a completely new idea.
Why?
You're probably not the first to think of it or try it. A lot of times it is true that the reason something doesn't ...
Momentum is one of the most underrated pieces of success. The reason is simple:
