Of Honourable Intent
I have recently joined the Business and Technology Book Club Blog where I will be one of four members discussing new books and hot topics in the industry. I finally managed to get a copy of John Batelle’s book, so will be reading that one real soon, since it is one of the books that is on our review list. Make sure you check it out!
Ok, so it’s a bit outdated, but Yahoo has bought WhereOnEarth a search company with WiFi location based services, wait for it…remember Google’s San Fransisco ambitions? Enter Yahoo….;) This could get interesting.
That is all I have time for folks…work beckons!!
On a personal note:
The weather has been beautiful of late here in Cape Town. People are donning tans and frantically going to gym to shed those last kilos and I guess in a way cleaning out the proverbial house for the upcoming new year.
Which got me thinking…
Playing open cards in business is very important to me as well as following through on your proposals – I believe that in business (and of course on a personal level) people should honour their intentions.
Why such a strong conviction on this topic today? Well it’s just that I have only met a handful of people that do.
I had a chat with one of my colleagues just yesterday where we were discussing how small a business community Cape Town is, and should you cross someone here, your business could pretty much fold very rapidly. Which took me down another trail of thought…
In business I, and I am sure quite a few of you as well, have been painted many a rosy picture and been made many promises which mostly turned out to be empty. What is that saying….Once bitten twice shy.
Perhaps I leave it at that for the moment…
