'by Yatin Patel. Those in business are often said to be left-brained individuals, more logical, analytical and objective than their right-brained counterparts who are more creative in nature.

'Fred Wilson has a post up this morning title Return and Ridicule which talks about the dangers of herd investing. Fred quotes Bill Gurley saying that ‘you can only make money by being right about something that most people think is wrong’ which I think is spot on.

'By Andrew Collins, founder & CEO of Mailman Group?. How much are you worth today? It’s a question we must ask ourselves as we embark on any new project. Depending on your age, experiences, financial situation, family and more – we make decisions as to what to get involved with, how much time to invest and what is important to you.

'1) I don’t know how I missed this one last week, but it’s too good to pass up. The Wall Street Journal reported that male CEOs who had deep, Barry White-esque voices earned $187,000 more and ran companies with $440 million more in assets.

'I closed a large transaction yesterday without signing a single piece of physical paper. It was painless. The entire negotiation was done using email and DocuSign. I’m doing this at least once a week at this point. Either with DocuSign or EchoSign , the two services that seem to be most popular.
