Or put another way, Prosperity and wealth are Abundance or surplus (more than what you need). Humans only create abundance through hard work and creativity. That was surely true before civilization, private property, etc... I'm o

Anyone with a base salary of $300k can obtain a similar payoff structure by taking out a $550k loan to invest in GOOG I'm curious how someone could obtain such a large, unsecured loan of $550k? Even secured against a home wit

congrats, and a great story. Inspiring to see you stick with it for so long while dealing with the competing priorities of a young family. If only there was a timeline tool that could easily create an appealing, succinct graphic of the Pre

It sounds like that was perhaps the path: We were almost ready to be spun off. Turning an internal tool (or what sounded like a customized process, for each internal team/group) into a portable product fit for a broader market c

In my experience[1], interacting with the salesperson and agreeing on the cars' price is about 25% of the sale process (and hassle). The salesperson nails down price, model/unit, with the customer, which already involves all mann
