Most entrepreneurs today don’t remember the Dot-Com bubble of 1995 or the Dot-Com crash that followed in 2000. As a reminder, the Dot Com bubble was a five-year period from August 1995 (the Netscape IPO ) when there was a massive wave of experiments on the then-new internet, in commerce, entertainment, nascent social media, and search.

The Golden Age (1970 – 1995): Build a growing business with a consistently profitable track record (after at least 5 quarters,) and go public when it’s time. Dot.com Bubble ( 1995-2000): “ Anything goes” as public markets clamor for ideas, vague promises of future growth, and IPOs happen absent regard for history or profitability.

I soon found that yoga taught me 2000-year-old strategies, to be more present with my kids, be more patient with my family and feel more calm and energized at the same time! The beauty of working in PR is that you get to learn how other companies and industries operate. It turned out that there was! Image Credit: Erryn Cobb.

I bought Forevervinyl.com back in 1995 and went online. I started a consulting firm called Global Marketing Resources, LLC in 2000 as source for additional income while I was a corporate executive. It was also unique enough to be awarded a trademark by the USPTO. Thanks to Kevin Namaky, Gurulocity ! #11- 11- Quite simple.
