Oh, I’m very much a Hunter! But being a Gemini, I do have a kind of split-personality. So, occasionally I chill out and become a “Farmer”. Not for too long though
I’ve been a fan of Guy Kawasaki for a while now. Not a fan-boi type, but still admired him enough to call myself a “fan”. I follow him on Twitter, read his blog occasionally, and love to watch his videos as he is a great presenter and speaker who adds a lot of humor and [...]
I believe it is critically important to have role models, teachers, mentors, gurus, leaders, spiritual guides – from whom we can draw courage, inspiration, enlightenment, guidance – in times of need at various stages of our life. So here’s a short list of my role models, who have all tremendously inspired me, taught me, and [...]
Did you know that the incredibly famous Nike “Swoosh” logo was created by a graphic design student desperate to pay for a dress for an upcoming party, for a stunning total of $35 (at $2/hour)? I watched a Nike documentary recently, where they interviewed Philip Knight (one of Nike’s Founders), “His Airness” Michael Jordan, and [...]
I started Techiiies.tv as a fun project, and I’m pretty confident that YouTube would run out of storage space before I run out of ideas for creating techiiie videos. Oh, and by the way, if you’re wondering about the weird spelling of Techiiies, it was of course because the name “Techies” (with the single “i”) [...]
This is turning into a “Seth Godin Week” at RavisRants.com. But if you’re like me, you can’t get enough of what Seth has to say. So enjoy… ‘curiosity’ from Nic Askew on Vimeo.
I launched my newest product (DAP) last night. So why did I decide to launch it on a Saturday evening, right in the middle of a long weekend (at least for most folks here in the US)? My first motivation for this was one of Seth’s posts about launches. “it doesn’t matter much how many [...]
Ok, I was being dramatic. Plus I’m straight (and I think Seth is too). Last evening, I was fortunate to be a part of a private group that participated in Seth presentation for his new book, “Tribes” . The presentation was “remarkable!”, as Seth would’ve said himself. Filled with extraordinary images, and almost no text, [...]
“Twit” is no longer just a mean word I signed up for Twitter a while ago. But I never “got it” – until recently – when I figured out the awesomeness of microblogging. Seth Godin wrote this on his blog: “My goal in creating this blog is to spread my ideas and keep me from [...]
I’ve always talked to folks about having a sense of urgency in life. Because that’s how I operate. I look at the young & successful, and I feel like I’m 10 years behind. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing either. If you don’t have nowhere to go and nothing to achieve, then you [...]
Quite frequently, I am reminded of how we take certain things for granted, while it could be something completely new/interesting/educating/shocking for someone else. Using Google Alerts for competitive research is one such “thing”. During a chat with a friend the other day, I casually mentioned how I use Google Alerts to keep an eye on [...]
If I had to pick just one blog, and could read only one blog for the rest of my life – including my own blog (the one you’re reading right now) – I would pick Seth Godin’s blog. Seth’s blog is (hyperbole alert) amazing, educational, informative, remarkable, mind-blowing, extraordinary, purple, eye-opening and goose-pimple-raising good. Seth’s [...]
As a follow-up to my original lusty iPhone rant, I decided to scour the web for a closer look at the iPhone. The hype is dying. Real people have used it, some have heard about real people using it, but everyone definitely has something to say about it. So go on and see if you [...]
2006 was the absolute best year of my professional- as well as my online- career for many reasons; the main reason also being the most measurable one: Money earned. But there were many factors that contributed to my success, and here are a few key learnings from 2006 – stuff that you should know, in [...]
Many years ago, during yet another boring conference with a long list of uninspired speakers, one man brought the entire crowd back to life with this opening statement. He said: “I feel like Elizabeth Taylor’s 8th Husband…. I know what to do, but I don’t know how to make it interesting”. For the rest of [...]
