New expertise - strategic planning?

Lately I have been getting endorsements for strategic planning.  It would seem odd since the subject I teach is entreprneurship.

However you will note that strategy is nothing more than achieving your goals/objectives with available resources, selecting a set of activities.

In entrepreneurship, the entrepreneur achieves his goal with nary resources and dearth of knowledge. (but plenty of sweat and ingenuity)   What could be more strategic than that.

I would welcome this new endorsement from a popular social media for professionals/

I have been getting emails too to be a facilitator in strategic planning

New Teaching Assignments

I will soon be teaching a new batch of entrepreneurship students at AGSB:   @Tuesday at de la Costa campus beginning November 27. 2012 and @Saturday pm for MBAH students (MDs wow this will be challenging) beginning Dec. 1, 2012

However, for the period November 25 to Dec l,  I will be joining the family on a   r and r trip.  I will have to miss the first session.

Be shameless

This was the admonition of Atty Gerona in his entrep talk in the last day of the class.

I talked to former businessmen and entrepreneurs who did well before and now impoverished.  And I asked them why they are not making  comeback (it happenned to me when we divided our inheritance and the majority of sibling invoked a provision of the law which enabled them to exclude me in the corporation).

And their reason (and my reason):   they are ashamed.

The key to start up and not making this:  to be shameless
