The Next Step (then the next one) – Build the Vector
The first step is the most important. I just wrote about it, including an amazing quote from Lord of the Rings! But is it? What about the other thousand miles (or shall we assume a step is about a foot and its more like 5,280,000 steps)? All it takes is one step to get started…

Every Empire Starts with a Single Step – EntreBurnor, a Journal
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings There are a lot of business guides out there. This is not one of them. There are…

The Impact of Dynamic Characters

I am sick.…

Now, where is Mirth and Company? Short answer is that it is growing and in constant development, if a bit slowly. Mirth (standard shorthand for…

Planning – The Dirty Diaper
All the planning in the world, all the preparations and careful creation of strategies will not stand against the dirty diaper. It has to be dealt with and if its a number two, for everyone’s sake, there is no putting it off. It is the immediate and unavoidable disruption to a well-laid plan, a scheduled…

Mirth and Company
Entreburnor is about the journey our family will take through various entrepreneurial endeavors. Setting out to build businesses and brands was not necessarily always the plan, especially not in the midst of adopting two newborns, in two separate adoption actions, at the same time, but life is rarely about the expected and mundane. For my…
