Entrepreneurial Strategic Planning

Something I never thought would present a problem: picking a title for my strategic planning book. It has proven a challenge. You would think this would amount to an easy task. However, trying to find the absolutely perfect title keeps me awake at night

Titles that caught my attention:

Entrepreneurial Strategic Planning

Entrepreneurs' Strategy Guide

Small Business Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning for Your Small Business

Small Business Strategy


All of the above would have the sub-title: Get Ready, Get Set, Go.

I imagine a survey would do the trick.

Killing in Aurora Colorado

James Holmes was charged with 24 counts of murder today. Rightfully so! The only issue to ponder is whether or not he's insane. Even if he proves to be detached form the reality of his actions, does it mean he deserves no punishment?

It's time such as this that make people think about the ramifications of the death penalty. Many in jail were convicted of crimes they didn't commit; the evidence was debatable and the prosecution was more persuasive that the defense. For those who were executed, I feel sorry.

This case seems indisputable from my vantage point. Nevertheless, I  wonder how a sane individual could commit such a heinous crime. In addition, I wonder how things would have ended if all the theater-goers had 9mm Glocks concealed on their persons.
Sad, sad, day.

Tropical Storm Debbie

Debbie didn't do Dallas, yesterday, nevertheless, it dumped tons of needed rain on South Florida. This is the most rain we experienced in some time, several weeks or more. Here's hoping that the lake will now be up to near normal water level. Hopefully, the water restrictions will be lifted.
