That''s a 6% annual increase since 1997 when I started and it was $16,000 a year. The idea of a channel that you pay for over and above just a data pipe is definitely going to go the way of the printed local newspaper.

On the enterprise side, the only reason I would support having a company move off an existing platform to.Net is if there was significant customer demand for it and if Microsoft would really provide the company with access to its channel.

When I think of servant leadership I think of Pat Summitt, my basketball coach at the University of Tennessee from 1997 to 2001. I was home from school, sitting on the couch channel surfing, and suddenly it happened. Pat was more than our coach. She was our friend, our mentor, our mother, our inspiration — and a true servant leader.

On many boards, both the CEO and CFO have direct channels with the board so that they can provide the yin and yang (in a well-coordinated way). For example, in 1997, I had not realized that you need to invent and reinvent your go to market strategy together with your product idea.

The Kauffman Foundation’s research on this matter is clear: from 1997 to 2005, job growth in the US was driven entirely by start-ups. I'm shocked that there isn't more discussion about channeling more dollars towards this inmportant institution. In truth, it’s not small business that represents the country’s job engine.
