This is a continuation of yesterday's blog- I'm thanking my mentors.

I’ve written about my next mentor often.  (Here’s but one example– with another great story about Cary.)  He was but one half of the management team that took a chance to hire me.  A soon-to-be 14 y old kid.  And, let me basically take over their baby.  (As you can see, Cary became a mentor about the time I was losing touch with Ms. Katzman.  I’d been really lucky to have a continuous mentor relationship for nigh 16 years, by the time this one ends.)

One of the first things I reminded them about is that business is operational- not asperational.   That means one starts a business- small or large- by making things work.  Getting cash flow.  Trying business models to see what works.

Out of the box.  That’s what we think of when someone asks us what creativity is. Actually, it’s often just a different way of thinking.  We are trained to think in linear fashion- so we never consider the nonlinear approaches whatsoever. That’s what schooling teaches- to answer the questions in a linear, step-by-step fashion.
