I just got back from Austin, Texas. I mentored and prepared two of my students, Gary MacRitchie and Emanuel Fratini for the University of Texas, Idea to Product Global Competition.They came in second in the Kelleher Chair for Entrepreneurship Division.

Gary and Emanuel have developed a consensual marketing solution using bluetooth. With the boost from the competition, I expect the business built around this technology - Thirty Three Feet - to continue to develop. Congratulations Gary and Emanuel.

Kompetensmässan 2006

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Today I take the crusade to the World Trade Center in Stockholm. Tuesday and Wednesday the Center is the host for the Kompetenmässan 2006, which is Sweden’s largest and most important forum for competence development in personal, leadership and business development. I have been featured on the home page for months.

I am, of course, talking about creating value through entrepreneurship. However, because my seminar is in English, it is unclear home many people had pre-registered. This seminar was supposed to be a book seminar, which would feature my latest book, but unfortunately the book has been delayed. I am not really happy about that delay. I have some many ideas that are just building up, but this current project needs to be out of the way before I start another.

I will let you how it goes.
