  1. Renting Prosperity on.wsj.com/KjXPyn via @WSJ - exceptional piece on the paradigm shift to greater economic mobility.
  2. When it comes to a policy agenda, clarity and predictability beats content all day long. #GoodLeadership
  3. White Hot @MiamiHEAT!
  4. 1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed- "nursing, teaching, accounting or computer science" = good careers- fxn.ws/JoZqpd
  5. My wife handwrote thank you notes to her colleagues from a big, successful project. Never underestimate the impact of a handwritten note!
  6. "@HarvardBiz: "Good enough" is a great way to *start* innovating... s.hbr.org/HTWBpu" Get to Good and Iterate to Better!
  7. @SPENCITO99 30 minutes or less
  8. Think like an entrepreneur. Selling your talents at a profit takes more than 40 hours a week. 9-5 is selling time, 5-9 is production time.
  9. Grad school distills the first 2+ years of a highly skilled job. How you use it to boost earning potential comes down to your sales ability.
  10. Great piece... @HarvardBiz: Why "Generation Why Bother" Doesn't Care s.hbr.org/FOzNZi
  11. I gave my speech this week on starting a business. Pursue your mission with unapologetic determination.
  12. Preview- next TM speech is on starting a business. Can't be driven by money... too easy to be let down when you need the motivation most.
  13. @KatiehKay which are not aired? How can you see them? YouTube?
  14. Correction... Last gold run was around the summer 2008 oil price shock. #PastIsPrologue
  15. Don't know much about gold markets, but highest spot price volatility since Jan-06 and roadside sign spinners make me nervous. #GoldBubble
  16. Come to think of it... Danny Devito was the voice of #TheLorax when I was a kid. Wait... is that weird?
  17. Be robotic with your time management commitments. YOU made the plan for a reason. More than likely, that reason hasn't changed much.
