'By Jon Gordon, author of “ The Carpenter: A Story About the Greatest Success Strategies of All “ Does America care anymore? Our actions seem to say “no.” In fact, not caring seems to be an epidemic. Exhibit A: Seventy percent of Americans are disengaged from their jobs, which leads to the poor customer service we experience all too often.

'If you’re selling in a competitive market, you must live & die by the little things that make you uniquely different from your competition. Do you have superior customer service? Have you targeted a very specific segment of the market with a common complaint? Are you approaching the problem in a way your competitors won’t? I suspect that might be the case with Team Colony , the subject of this week’s website review.

'“Oh, what a tangled web we weave…when first we practice to deceive.”. Walter Scott, Marmion. Last week I got an email last week from a New York VC asking for advice about building a house in the California Coastal Zone. For six and a half years I served as a public official on the California Coastal Commission. The call reminded me that it’s been a year since I resigned, and it’s time to tell a few stories of what I learned as a Coastal Commissioner.

In this webinar, Nick Noreña will walk through an Innovation Ecosystem Model that he and his team at Kromatic have developed to help investors, heads of product, teachers, and executives understand how they can best support innovation in

'by Francois Bondiguel , Online Marketing Manager at VendHQ.com. It’s like a war zone out there. The economy. The job market. The vendors. The suppliers. Even when you do get a small handful of semi-loyal repeats, you could lose them in a heartbeat if someone else comes by with a better offer. Today, you need ways to keep customers coming in the door.

'by Geoffrey Tumlin, author of “ Stop Talking, Start Communicating: Counterintuitive Secrets to Success in Business and in Life “ You’ve just graduated from college and are (justifiably) proud of your accomplishment. But as you head into the workforce, don’t expect your new credentials or your great GPA to do the heavy lifting for you. They don’t matter nearly as much as your ability to articulate, influence, persuade, and connect.

'Thomas Clayton is the CEO of Bubbly, a social media startup backed by Sequoia Capital, SingTel Innov8, and JAFCO. Most entrepreneurs get caught up in Silicon Valley envy and decide to place their startup headquarters there without a second thought. But for most startups, this won’t necessarily lead to immediate success and riches. The Valley certainly is the mecca of the tech world; however, the Valley also isn’t the place for every tech startup.
This is going to be BIG.

'A year ago, I wrote a post about how I was trying to keep my phone away during meals-- No Phone with Food. These days, we''ve got so much that can distract us, being present has become a rare feat. I''ve tried to stick to it, but it''s hard. I run my own business and I try and make myself available whenever my entrepreneurs need me. I also have a lot of family responsibility--with parents getting older and my grandmother making her way ever closer to 100, there are a few important folks I alway

'David Spinks is the CEO of CMX Media and host of CMX Summit, the premier resource and event for the community industry. He also writes at WhatSpinksThinks. This post originally appeared on the CMXHub. Community Manager is a title that continues to be slapped on a lot of roles. Some of them make more sense than others. Marketing makes little sense. I love marketing.

He’s the co-founder of Urbanspoon , the popular restaurant review site and app. He also co-founded Cubeduel, a site that lets you rank your co-workers and Strangeberry, a digital media startup that was acquired by TiVo in 2004.

I’ve tried every service I could find to create an online identity for myself, even Geocities.

'I’m loving CBInsights at the moment. They keep churning out great data. The latest is this chart showing growth in eCommerce investment: This is a good growth story. Ordinarily I would say that the 2011 peak suggests otherwise, but 2011 was the year of the Groupon clone frenzy and we can safely regard it as an anomaly. The growth in investor interest in ecommerce is driven by the growth in the underlying ecommerce market, and that underlying growth has legs, as I’ve blogged before.

'Disputes over money can drive a wedge between the strongest of relationships, whether you’re part of a married couple weighed down by debt, or business partners disagreeing over the best use of the company credit card. When it comes to business, partners on opposite sides of heavy issues can stifle the ability of the company to get off the ground. If you find yourself frequently arguing over money strategies with your business partner, is it time to split up, or can the partnership be salvaged?

'Are you the type of person who works while on vacation, checks e-mails on your Smartphone while at dinner, and has to make one last phone call before walking away? Maybe you are a typical workaholic. You are not alone; millions of people are addicted to their work. And while you may think that is a good thing, there are several reasons why it actually is not.

'Originally published in StartupNation. How do you make 100% sure that you achieve the goals you’ve set for your business? 1. Set Smaller Goals! It’s critical that you set reasonable goals/expectations for your business in order to achieve them. Many entrepreneurs have visions of grandeur and set unrealistic goals based on these delusions. Set reasonable goals based on existing data that can be achieved over a short period of time.
