Steve Jobs and Entrepreneurship

Not much more to say, multiple tweets and todays blog posting except this:

Steve Job's followed his passion to create what he wanted, his dream, and trusted that others either wanted it or would. Do you have that courage?

When you build something for customers, does it have moto or soul? Does it have your soul?

Bad Day at Black Rock

Old movie, current theme.

In the 6 years we have been managing lists, yesterdays fiasco was a first. We were unable to stop the process once the original email was sent around 1000. For everyone who responded with a GO, we thank you more than words can express. During this challenging process, we have found the entrepreneurs and business owners serious about the future of their businesses, it's now time to rock.

We will be sending individual emails for the foreseeable future until the email defect is identified and error proofed.

In the meantime - we are continuing work on the Best Practices Study with the next deadline on October 18. The findings will be presented at our UVa Seminar for review and discussion. During this period, we will be sampling the best SWaM's to anchor the current data and map the procurement processes @UVa. The final product will be a process map of procurement matched with the best practices - a how to guide to improve your batting average.

Look for the results of Best Practices 1.0 later this week in the Files section.
