Hackers and Hummingbirds: Leadership Lessons from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Terry Starbucker

I recently read “ Think Like Zuck: The Five Business Secrets of Facebook’s Improbably Brilliant CEO Mark Zuckerberg ” by Ekaterina Walter (I received an advance copy).

Making a difference in others’ lives

Persuasive Powerhouse

. When I left my corporate job years ago for the risky business of starting something on my own, several people asked me if I was afraid. To me, it was an odd question because I saw myself as headed on a new adventure that stretched me and used my strengths and passion. These were things I’d always valued in the work I did. Yet when I considered the question about fear and became curious about what was behind it, I realized that the point others were making to me had to do with financial

Women on Business

The start of a new year is a great time to re-evaluate your finances and retirement savings plan. With that in mind, I thought it would also be a good time to take a trip through the Women on Business archives to find some great articles about retirement and finances that you might have missed.

Marketing Testing

CEO Blog

Yes, I mean marketing testing- not market testing. How do you know the best way to spend marketing money? In my opinion - the easiest way is just spend it and see what works. The beauty of the online world is this can be done for hundreds or even tens of dollars. Buy a few Adsense ads on Google. Buy different words or phrases. Use different offers, colors and pictures to see which one gets the best return.

The Blindness of Ministry

Ron Edmondson

Recently I came across a journal entry from January, 2005. I talked about some of the goals I had for the year and my progress and lack thereof towards meeting them. I shared some current frustrations I was having in ministry. I then asked God to help me be more disciplined. Then I read the last sentence of that day’s journal. I wrote, “ God, at 41, some days it feels that I’m not accomplishing anything.” Wow!
