Progress
Finally had the first brainstorming meeting on the smartphone application I surveyed you all on a while back. It was a really good session. Not only did the company I’m working with say that my original design could be fairly easily programmed, we came up with an entire new “other half” to the application that [...]
The Quarter in Review – 2009 Q1
Many of the blogs I read have quarterly, or even monthly recaps. Some of these blogs are personal some are professional, and the information in their recap generally reflects their orientation. Personal blogs tend to focus on their best content, what keywords seem most relevant in their space, comments or discussions of interest, etc. The professional blogs [...]
Shameless self-promotion
As in, I’m about to shamelessly self-promote myself. Well, not actually myself so much as my blog. A few posts back, I wrote about a new feature I had added to the blog, the “Great Posts from Around the Web” widget. Using free ranking services available from Postrank, I built an automatically updating list of [...]
Re-tagging comments welcome
I still have a couple surprises left from when I talked about several upcoming site changes in my 100th post. They are underway and I think you will like them both. One of them has to do with a change that should make it easier to find more posts on the site you want to [...]
Great posts from around the web
So, a while back I wrote about some upcoming changes / surprises on the blog. The first was a facelift to the blog, which I rolled out a week or so ago. Yesterday, I flipped the switch on the second addition: a list of great posts from around the web on our topics of Leadership [...]
Would this interest you?
I’m thinking of doing an extended series on the basics of what goes in a business plan. Starting with a general overview of the structure of a plan, moving through each section and why it’s important, and finishing with the dreaded Executive Summary. Based on the number of entrepreneurs I work with week in and [...]
How do you like my new suit?
So, back in my 100th post, I mentioned a couple of upcoming surprises here at DCO. Here’s the first one – a face lift to the overall look of the site. The theme I had been using on the site as the Revolution theme by Brian Gardner, a very nice basic theme. While Brian does [...]
Polls are still open
I have a handful of votes on the Weekend Reader poll, but no clear consensus has emerged. The votes to date have helped guide my thinking as to what new approach to take, but I’m still looking for more votes to get a better sense of what everyone is thinking. I’m including the poll again [...]
Rethinking the Weekend Reader
As I alluded to last week, I’ve been working through yet another evaluation of the content here on DCO. Much of what I’ve been mulling over is simply a refinement of the current mission: I want to focus in more on the entrepreneurial side of things, I want to bring more of a personal nature [...]
Full Disclosure
Unless my world goes horribly wrong in the next few days, I will be posting the long-awaited “One Page Strategic Plan” next week. There has been much interest expressed in this and I’m pleased that I was able to get permission to post it publicly. One of the conditions for posting I was given was [...]
