Good to Great by Jim Collins and the chimps
For the last few days I’ve been re-reading Good to Great by Jim Collins and the chimps (his researchers). If you’re in business and you haven’t checked it out yet then go get yourself a copy. Not only has it made me take a long, hard look(again) at my business, but it has also given me some killer ideas for what makes a successful website.
I’ll be talking about those ideas over the coming weeks in another exciting development. It’s time for Craig to start his video blog and talk about himself in the third person!
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but technology and my bad video making skills have been standing in the way. While my skills haven’t improved a lot, they’re just going to have to do. Anyway, this is going to be a very informal and relaxed video blog. But don’t worry…I will be wearing pants (we’re not getting that relaxed…).
So, if you’re interested in quick tips on improving your website (and business), then subscribe to the RSS as I hope to have the first ‘episodes’ on the way soon.
In the meantime, you can check out Jim Collins’ website for some good immediate material. Because I know how frustrating waiting a few days for one of those old-fashioned book things can be!

Hi Craig,
Check out the newest book of this type, “The Breakthrough Company” by Keith Mc Farland. Not read it yet but it’s getting great reviews, It concentrates more on the initial process of how one man bands expand to grow successful companies. Web site: http://www.breakthroughcompany.com.
