Less Than Half Benchmarking

This Hangs In My Office

Christopher Needed To Be Spoon Fed

Note: This is sort of a spoof, a play on words.

There’s a new personal transformation company I found(ed), called Less Than Half Benchmarking.

Well, that’s really only partially true. It’s not called Less Than Half Benchmarking. It’s called Mid Life Celebration.

But less than half of you reading this will visit  Mid Life Celebration today.

Doing stuff that matters is hard work.

And even fewer will visit another benchmarking site, where there is a temptation to view excellence as showing off.

I promise to help you think differently.

You promise to not expect to be spoon-fed.

Speaking Of Napster…

Friday, October 9th, 2009

A few hours ago, I posted below about Seth Godin being someone I think everyone should be paying attention to.

And in this morning’s post (below), Napster was used as an example of how a time-tested, dominating, business model was dismantled by a few forward-thinking people.

Click here if you have any sense at all.  This further illustrates the importance of benchmarking, of surveying the landscape, of constantly checking the radar screen.

If Seth Godin’s blog post, “Less Than Zero” doesn’t make your head spin, go buy some WD-40.
