Is this it?!

Worth 7 minutes of my life to watch. Injoy.

from Chris Bryan

I have a friend, for privacy reasons I can’t disclose, who just went through a several month period of the business blowing up. This person took a risk and tried to expand and build more value for his customers and colleagues.

– customers were upset
– employees were upset and mutiny minded
– lost a TONNE of money

I feel bad cuz it sucks, but I also admire this person because they had the balls/ovaries to try.

It moved me, hearing this story cuz it hurts so much, on so many levels. I found this link from JamesA that talks about how to recovers from stuff like this.

For the 2nd time in the past week, I’ve come across a blog post about Avoiding “the News” as it’s ultimately a waste of time.

Matt Cutts is doing it and Chris Mayer talks about it as a waste from an investment perspective.

Both of the above links are worthy of your time to read and “Not News”. Injoy!

I’m editted my RSS feeds today to get rid of the news, and focus on deep thinking reading.
