On a lighter note:
1. If you could have dinner with any 2 people (living or not), who would they be?
Elvis Presley. A poor kid who became the King - who doesn't like that? And
Tim Fife, former president of Computer Science Corporation's business services
group. A former colonel in the Marine Corps, he could walk in, light up
a room, take anyone's product and sell it. I learned a lot about selling
from him.
2. What was the last book you read? What books do you love to recommend?
Last book read:
"Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson"
I recommend:
Michael Gerber's "The E-Myth Revisited." It should be required for anyone
thinking about starting a business. He says that entrepreneurs have many
good but distracting ideas, and often make poor business people.
3. If you were to choose a different profession, what would it be?
Broadcast journalist
4. What is your definition of success?
Success, no matter what you do, is leaving a legacy behind - be it children, your own company or an invention.
