The most successful entrepreneurs and executives I have seen are savvy business people first, and experts in their field second.

By Martin at February 29, 2012 | 8:22 am | 0 Comment
The naïve entrepreneur thinks he can relax, after he finally cashes the check from a professional investor, but in reality that’s when the work and the pressure starts.

By Martin at January 12, 2012 | 8:42 am | 1 Comments
