				<title>Do Everything You Can To Do As Little As Possible</title>
				<link>http://obsidianlaunch.com/index.php?id=158</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Do Everything You Can To Do As Little As Possible - It’s about time I answer a reoccurring question.  People ask it in various ways but it boils down to: How can Obsidian be so stupid as to only partner with a very select group of people?  Isn’t it dumb to only focus on entrepreneurs between 18 and 26, are early stage, don’t need immediate funding and are located in the northeast US?  Clearly Obsidian is missing out on millions of extraordinary opportunities.  Obsidian just doesn’t get it. ]]></description>

				<title>Business Plans Are a Huge, Fat, Stinkin’ Waste of Time</title>
				<link>http://obsidianlaunch.com/index.php?id=156</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Business Plans Are a Huge, Fat, Stinkin’ Waste of Time  - The traditional business plan includes tons of research, a dream team of advisors, and the mandatory pessimistic projections.  Shoot with this thorough approach and these ultra-realistic numbers, and you can easily achieve your plan of making at least $100M in revenue with $50M in profit within the next 5 years.  And all you need to capture is 1% of the market.

If every business plan came through, everyone on this planet would be a billionaire.  But that’s far from the case.  The reason is that business plans are never used as intended, nor do they ever achieve the stated expectations.

				<title>Bounce! – A Must Read</title>
				<link>http://obsidianlaunch.com/index.php?id=153</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Quite frankly, many books can be boiled down to a couple content rich pages.  Very few are good enough to merit a page by page read.  And even fewer are perfectly timed for the events of today.  I recently came across one of those exceptional books that is content rich and perfectly timed.  It’s called Bounce! by Barry J. Moltz. ]]></description>

				<link>http://obsidianlaunch.com/index.php?id=151</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ If You Are Not a Media Darling, Be a Media Whore - When it comes to garnering media exposure, there are quite a few entrepreneurial types out there. None are necessarily better than the other, but all leverage media exposure differently, for sure.   Statistically, it is unlikely that you will be a Media Darling, the likes of PayPal, Google, and Salesforce.com.  But you can become a Media Whore. And as Martha Stewart, a Media Whore herself, says, “It’s a good thing.” ]]></description>
