Lunchtime M.B.A.
Saturday, August 13th, 2011If you get 45-minutes for lunch,or are on a short flight, read Anything You Want by Derek Sivers. I read this book today and will add it to our ongoing Personal M.B.A. reading list. Anything… details the good, bad and unlikely in the world of entrepreneurship. These pearls of wisdom you could never get sitting in a lecture hall.
Wise Women
Thursday, March 10th, 2011SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher gave tips to students at SUNY Morrisville earlier this month for the Women Ventured Women Gained program. She told them: 1) You need a vision; 2) Make no small plans; 3) Ideas without action are meaningless; 3) Hold yourself accountable and 4) Find someone to articulate for your vision.

She is also part owner of three Washington, DC-area professional sports teams and says her media division will soon re-brand AOL Black Voices.
