I’ve gone ahead and created a Facebook group for the Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast. It will help me keep track of people who have come in the past and remember to invite people to future gatherings. If you’ve attended a Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast or would like to in the future and you don’t get […]
What Would an Apple-Run City Look Like?
We all know how vigorous and serious Apple is about their brand. Even when there’s a hiccup. Apple’s mastered the product launch, and gets everyone talking about them constantly. The biggest lesson from Apple is really how far they’ll go to create a specific image to maintain and enhance their brand. Apple’s currently planning to […]
Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast is Tomorrow
Just a quick reminder to Montreal entrepreneurs, technologists, angel investors, venture capitalists and others interested in entrepreneurship and technology — the Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast is tomorrow. Normally it would have been today (2nd Tuesday of every month) but I had to postpone it for a day. Same location as always: Bistro, Etc. Same time […]

Weekend Blog Carnival Reading
Blog Carnivals are a great way of increasing traffic, getting links and building your audience. I started a Blog Carnival of Entrepreneurs at Startup Spark which is still going strong today.

The people you’ve linked to might not notice the link. And that defeats much of the reason for linking in the first place. If […]
Is Your Ego The Perfect Size To Be a Great Leader?
How big is your ego? Too big? Too small? Just right? We’re probably not the best judges of our own ego and whether it’s the right size to be a great leader. After all, our egos would get in the way and skew our judgment. But we certainly should recognize the importance of ego and […]

The next Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast is scheduled for Wednesday, September 12th. Normally it would be on Tuesday (September 11th) but I couldn’t make it on that day, so I decided to push it one day forward. If you’d like to sign-up (to let others know you’re coming) visit the event listing. You don’t have […]
Great Leaders Admit When They Don’t Know
“I don’t know.” 3 simple words. They’re not always easy to say. No one likes to admit they don’t have an answer. Some people won’t say “I don’t know.” They’d rather stumble their way through a bogus answer, pull something out of thin air (or elsewhere!) or outright lie. For some, avoiding “I don’t know” […]

I’m a bit late with this announcement, but please point your browsers to my guest post on Pronet Advertising titled: Social Media Success Beyond Digg. Originally, I had […]
