Ted.com – Eddie Obeng: Smart failure for a fast-changing world

Eddie Obeng reminds us that Change is the only constant in business. Since the world is changing so fast, what was right before can be completely different now because of technology. I like the example he gives of home offices. When I put in a desk in my home and have computer, I think, wow, this is pretty sweet, I have my own little office. Eddie expands that to say its not just a little office, it is the headquarters of a World Wide organization. We have access to almost the whole globe. We can do so much just in our homes. This is one vision I have with Catalysters, to help the next generation realize their potential. If they wait until college, they may already be behind.

Open-source Legal Documents

Docracy.com is starting a new project to help people with legal documents and communication with their clients. It is frustrating to start a project only to get to the end and realize you weren’t working on the right thing. Watch this YouTube video commercial to get a taste. A booth was set up in a park and people were asked to draw something to earn $5.

Many times new comers to the business world and even long time players get caught up in either not making contracts or using poorly written contracts. What better way to learn than by learning from the mistakes of others and share your mistakes so others don’t make them. I have been working on some of my contracts and so I did a search on Docracy.com for “Contracts” and found some great info. I find that sharing information is great. I wanted to share this little tip with you. Let me know if you find anything great.

I found this article on FastCoDesign.com.
