It is all about supply and demand. Keeping that focus, one can switch gears, so to say. I've been an entrepreneur my whole life, except for a few years working on Wall St. Those were in my early years, where it all didn't make sense to me (long story) So I started my own business. The recession in the 70's were the most lucrative time for business for me. Again, supply and demand! Now, seasoned, there are so many opportunities one an find in a shattered economy. Buy and sell is my motto! Great article. Thanks, I will share it.

]]> Comment on Wikipedia Issue Equals Trouble for the Crowdsourcing Business Model? by Tema Frank http://ceofocus.com/blog/wikipedia-issue-equals-trouble-for-the-crowdsourcing-business-model/comment-page-1/#comment-677 Tema Frank Mon, 09 Apr 2012 07:47:13 +0000 http://ceofocus.com/blog/wikipedia-issue-equals-trouble-for-the-crowdsourcing-business-model/#comment-677 I wonder how successful the Wikipedia request was. I donated, whereas I had not done so before the plea. I also wonder whether the views of the younger generation will shift as they age and earn more. Now they download for free yet iTunes thrives. Is it just us older folks who pay? Will that change? When I was in my teens and early 20s I volunteered but rarely donated money because I had little of it. By my 40s I gave $ because I now had more $ than time. I wonder how successful the Wikipedia request was. I donated, whereas I had not done so before the plea.

]]> Comment on Can the Netflix Business Model Work Long-Term? by erik http://ceofocus.com/blog/can-the-netflix-business-model-work-long-term/comment-page-1/#comment-674 erik Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:21:43 +0000 http://ceofocus.com/blog/can-the-netflix-business-model-work-long-term/#comment-674 I disagree that Netflix is the next Blockbuster. As Netflix continues to struggle with its goals, business model etc., Blockbuster is changing, modifying and offering a fantastic selection of content to DISH customers. I have a DISH account, and with the new Blockbuster @ Home movie package I have access to more than 100,000 titles. I can get games, TV shows and movies either by mail, in-store exchange or streaming live! Also, while Netflix continues to dwell on the DVD aspect of the business, DISH just added another 6,000 titles to the streaming library. I used to have Netflix, but when a few DISH coworkers were talking about the new BB @ Home I got interested. I tried it out, and am now hooked! DISH and Blockbuster are a strong combination.
