The value of history:

Startups Try Harder.

I wrote this as a staff member of the' 65 Denver Thomas Jefferson High School yearbook, 5 years before Robert Townsend wrote the best selling "Up the Organization" about learning in 2nd place. "We try harder" is how CEO Townsend put it in the headlines of the ads for his #2 Avis (Hertz was #1 in market share.)

But throws fall short,

And scores come too late,

All teams can't finish first.

Learning is second place.

From TJ Yearbook, thanks Classmates.com

Do you want to start a new career? A new project or campaign? A new business? This life is short, start now! Here's how I can help you:

Take a short break each morning Monday thru Friday with me as I talk about startup, live at 10 a.m. MDT, 9 Pacific, noon Eastern or any time after via recording, both on my Facebook Page John S Wren MBA+ (click here.) Your Facebook Message to me there will be answered the same day during or after the live broadcast at 10.

Read my little book on startup Daring Mighty Things, the Simplest Way to Start Your First (or Next) New Business. (click here)

Check out the free face-to-face meetings with me here in metro-Denver through my Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc (click here) and ask me about helping your local chamber start similar free meetings with our help (I'll help for free if you will, or we can split the net proceeds, call me for the details.)

Questions? Call me and leave a complete, confidential message for me, I'm the only one with the code to the voice mail box. Take as much time as you need, be sure you tell me what you are hoping I can do for you. Call now, 24/7, while it is on your mind. I'd hate us to miss this opportunity to work together. Call now (303)861-1447

If you post a message on my Facebook Page or send me a message from there, post a question during my live 10 a.m. broadcast, or leave a telephone message, I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

If you'd prefer to not leave a telephone message and would rather meet together attend on of the free SBCC meetings here in metro-Denver. For more see our SBCC Meetup site www.Meetup.com/Small-Biz-Chamber 

More talk, fewer starts.

Only recently has startup been seen as an important part of the US economy.

Denver Startup Week

Big events are being held around the country
celebrating people who are starting new businesses.

In my experience people who are really serious about
starting are just too busy to attend.

And when inspiration hits, usually it's time to get
started. It's true, this life is very short!

That's why we hold IDEA Cafe Startup Workshops every
week. http://Meetup.com/Small-Biz-Chamber

Every week is startup week at Denver IDEA Cafe!

Life's short, start now!

New! Online Friday Morning Hangout
