I’m Profiled in a Book!

So a long time ago I got interviewed for a book for the American Management Association. At the time I thought it was more a business to business book that was showing case studies of different business models (Cafepress included) and that it wouldn’t be widely available. Well, turns out it’s more of a motivational, “you can do this too book” (though it seems to have hands on exercises and even tutorials as well — not done with it yet) and it’s being sold on Amazon.

It’s pretty interesting so far. When I first learned what the title was going to be I had to laugh — “Internet Riches” — and the subtitle is… “The Simple Money Making Secrets of Online Millionaires”. I wrote back that I hoped I was an example of how you can start with little start up and end up NOT being a millionaire.

Anyway, I got my copy the other day and seeing just how many folks are profiled in it (including WeddingChannel.com and FARK, but also folks like the creators of Bathboats.com who are NOT millionaires) I feel a bit better about not being a fraud, lol.

If you’d like to buy a copy you can see the book here:

Walt Disney’s 1956 time-capsule letter to the future

Boing Boing: Walt Disney’s 1956 time-capsule letter to the future

Walt was right about some predictions on human nature, but exactly on the ball with all the technology calls.

Not bad for trying to predict 50 years into the future? How well could any of us do?

I wouldn’t have predicted where I’d be 10 years earlier, much less where we all would be.
