  • What they Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School

    Years ago my dad gave me his copy of “What they Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School” just as I was getting into business. Granted, I did not know I was getting into business when I was getting into video production, but any job in which your company earns money for doing a service, is in fact, business.

    This is something that many of the new (and old) visitors to this forum, I think, are learning through trial by fire, or more often, trial and error.

    The past few weeks on this forum have been the very makings of a classic business best-seller, perhaps entitled “Business Skills for the Real World from a Herd of Cows.” I think it would be a hot seller.

    Book or not, this is a hot forum – kudos to my fellow forum hosts and the many new and repeat visitors for making for some great reading.

    I could not agree more. My whole life I have been counting on being a business owner, I just never knew what. Having been involved in Media production now for a while, I want to start a business in the next few years either producing videos, or a photography studio.

    I have been reading the Business & Marketing forum whenever I have a second of downtime, and I value the questions I see asked, and the answers/advice given, VERY greatly.

    I know that having all of this information in my head, even though its hardly relevant to my current situation, will be invaluable.

    Lots of smart people on these boards, I am so appreciative I stumbled across them.

    Good Day
