    Managers / People w/ direct reports -- What are the things your direct reports do that make you valu

    Good: Overcommunication on things that matter - verification that they're doing the right thing, concerns, ideas, etc. Checking that documents are the most up to date versions. Checking that it's OK to delete certain things. Providing solutions, not just problems - "This is broken, but...

    Profit sharing / bonus compensation rather than a high base salary?

    Hi there, I am a senior employee at a small, new (3 year old) digital marketing agency that's been growing very rapidly. Joined about a year ago and they've doubled in size since then. I expect the company to continue to grow at a rapid pace (we just leased a much larger office to cope with...

    Anyone work in advertising?

    http://clientsfromhell.net (somewhat serious), http://www.inbound.org/ (bit spammy, tech/SEO focus) I work in agencyland for a small digital marketing shop (which I love). Seems that anyone who is successful in this industry is too busy working to have any time to post about it on forums. Large...

    Property Share Advice

     As someone with experience of very bitter family disputes when shared ownership goes awry, +1000 on the advice to see a lawyer and draft some sort of agreement that covers the worst case scenarios, including how to dissolve the deal if someone's circumstances change or how costs are shared...

    Looking to build knowledge on how to raise audience for an e-commerce shop

    Here's a knowledge-dump of things I've learned being on the periphery of a number of successful digital marketing campaigns at various agencies: Pay Per Click (PPC) is a waste of money unless you're spending enough, in the right area, to make an impact. Spending $100 a month even on the right...

    Recommmend Me a Chair For Computer Use

    Another Embody fan here. Great chair. If you're in a profession where you're spending 10+ hours a day in a chair then it's a worthwhile investment to get the most ergonomic chair you can find for yourself.

    Know anything about this watch?

    What's the movement look like? Is it definitely authentic? Wife picked up a Patek at a flea market for $50. Looked pretty good until you opened it up and the movement was obviously a cheap generic one.

    Carpal Tunnel Experiences?

    Good chair (recommend Herman Miller, pricey but an investment) Getting adequate sleep (if I'm running a heavy sleep debt my wrists feel it before anything else) Getting adequate hydration (too much coffee, same thing) These exercises help too. I went through a period of overwork/high stress...

    Eames Lounge Chair copies... worth it?

    I have a few knock-offs (Noguchi table) and a few real vintage pieces (Eames lounge, Saarinen tables) and the legit versions bring me much more satisfaction to use, look at and enjoy. I regret buying the knock-offs even though they were cheaper, and don't regret any of the vintage purchases...

    Gucci + Fiat = Fiat 500 by Gucci

    Gucci did a Cadillac in the late 70s: http://irocklabels.com/1978-cadillac-seville-gucci-edition/ There's one on eBay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cadillac-Seville-RARE-CADILLAC-SEVILLE-GUCCI-MODEL-8-CYLINDER-WHITE-/110744595722?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item19c8e46d0a

    Carriers like simple mobile

    Because they're "virtual carriers" (forget the technical term for it), they just lease access to equipment from the big networks that manage their own infrastructure (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc) so their startup costs are low - they don't need to pay for the R&D or for future infrastructure...

    Having a tux custom tailored?

    I got a Thick as Thieves tux and was very happy with it. Midnight blue, unlined, peak lapels. Certainly nicer than anything I could find OTR in that price range.

    Apple TV- New version (no HD), anyone buy one yet?

    can't believe its only 100 bucks. It's the Gillette model of selling the razor (AppleTV) cheap so you have to buy the expensive blades (iTunes downloads) forever.

    The reading room - books on business, management, productivity and so forth...

    Two more votes for Cialdini's Influence and Dale Carnegie. The E-Myth Revisited is about how to build systems to run a company, which was the "a-ha" moment for me in working out how people scale businesses. Alan Weiss' "Million Dollar Consulting" is about how to run a solo consulting practice...

    Ferragamo vs Gucci vs Prada shoes

    Wearing a nice pair of Prada captoe oxfords today that have held up well in rotation. Prada's formal shoes are all very sleek and long with thin soles, so they look great but the soles tend to wear through quickly. I had a pair in the UK, when I walked a mile or two every day, and they wore...

    Must See Documentaries

    The Up series is pretty fascinating. First one was filmed in the mid-60s, where the filmmaker took a group of about a dozen British 7 year olds from various backgrounds and asked them what they thought their lives would be like. Then every 7 years, films a new version with the same people and...

    Small Business Software Recommendation

    Salesforce.com is ridiculously over-specced for what you need. Why not go one step further and set up a few servers, install SAP, and you could have it hooked up to some industrial automation system to run your woodchippers... giant waste of time and money at this point. Using separate software...

    Party Down on Starz

    Great show. "The League" is similar in that low-budget, sex-obsessed kind of way.

    Do wealthy people have fewer possessions in their homes?

    Most wealthy people are too busy experiencing things that actually bring happiness rather than accumulating **** for its own sake. IME, most wealthy people are too busy working rather than accumulating **** for its own sake. Seems the richer people get, the more time they spend working because...
