Amazing Adventure of a Nobody is about a ‘nobody’, Leon Logothetis from London, UK (the presenter and the subject of the documentary) trying to make his way in the USA, traveling from Times Square, NY to Hollywood Sign, LA with only $5 a day (couldn’t roll over.) The US-version…

The Focused Entrepreneur Gets the Worm

Finding Focus

Angel investors and VCs have a rule of thumb that they would rather invest in a great team over a great idea.  Entrepreneurs who possess traits like hard work, adaptability and integrity are those who make the grade.

Perhaps it’s time we add the ability to focus to the list.

Next comes the hard part!

Next comes the hard part!

“Actually I’m an overnight success. But it took twenty years” – Monty Hall

Most people who dream of owning their own business, which according to some studies as much as 61% of Americans, understand that it takes a tremendous amount of work and sacrifice to start a business, at least conceptually.
