Back from the barbershop. Idea. Store profiles of men’s haircut preferences in central database, create haircut world empire, help millions of men ask for the haircut they actually want. “Shorter” will no longer be the default answer to “How do you want your haircut?”
Entrepreneurship biggest challenge : to handle all the emotional ups and downs of the process
I am still trying to digest everything that has happened in my life during 2007. MBA, family, business,…
Thought nuggets as a form of blogging
I found this on MV’s blog:
Thought Nuggets from Twitter - Part 1
I don’t twit in the traditional sense of the term (internet tradition is measured in months not years). I don’t generally tell people what I am doing. Instead I twit what I am thinking about. For year end I will post what Evan Williams, founder of Twitter, appropriately called thought nuggets.
Then, his posts goes on with tons of “status updates” (in facebook parlance) of his thoughts, very interesting ideas. I find this approach to blogging quite appealing, even more, quite inspiring! I’ve grown a little bit tired of blogging in the last couple of months, or at least I don’t have enough time to build proper posts. If you check my blog, there has been few updates.
But I always have ideas zooming in and out of my mind. So posting them as minimalist sentences can be quite interesting. I will try this starting now!
Paths to Power / Managing With Power
I’ve just finished the quarter (what a sprint, sorry for the blog silence) and a fantastic block week course: Paths to Power.
Power is a reality, a good one that gets things done, therefore everybody would be better off if at least we understand how it works. Fantastic class. If you want to get a feeling of what goes on in the class, get Pfeffer’s book, very clear, structured and interesting book:
Managing With Power: Politics and Influence in Organizations: Books: Jeffrey Pfeffer
We’ve had some fantastic classes, covering the cases of Jay Leno and David Letterman, Robert McNamara (pictured) or Noël Forgeard of Airbus (EADS) fame.
Writting perfection
Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte
non quand il n’y a plus rien à ajouter,
mais quand il n’y a plus rien à retrancher.Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Terre des hommes, 1939
It seems that perfection is reached
not when there is nothing left to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, sand and stars, 1939
These days, I am writing more than when applying to business school. The quote is fantastic, and great advice for anyone writing, including applicants 
Very busy, but looking like a duck
Funny how I am perceived like a duck. This season is being crazy busy, no time for the blog. But apparently, I don’t convey it too much when people see me. Curious!
So lots of classes (5), a business to be launched, and plenty personal stuff going on.
Any advice for my dear readers? Not much, only put me on the RSS reader, I will most likely resurface in the future 
I will survive (buried in work…)
I am buried in work. All sorts of work. Apologies if you’ve contacted me and I am not responsive.
Buried, but still smiling. I’ve chosen everything that is burying me, and that’s quite a nice position to be in.
In any case, below I dedicate this song is dedicated to all my readers that are buried in work. You will survive too!
