Planning, Startups, Stories

Posting from Oxford Today

So I'm tired today, writing from the Old Bank Hotel in Oxford (UK), where I'll be speaking to MBA students on Monday. Oxford has a very attractive MBA program. Alan Gleeson, Managing Director of Palo Alto Software Ltd here in the UK, is a graduate.

Not much else to say. Given that I spent last night on a plane, probably better I stay brief.

One advantage of living in Eugene, OR, is that when you get to Oxford in early January, the cold gray weather is not all that different from home.

Join Me with Jim Blasingame Nov. 13

I'm very proud to be scheduled on Jim Blasingame's 10th anniversary radio show at 8:30 am EST  on Tuesday Nov. 13.  You'll be able to listen live by clicking onto Jim's home page at the Small Business Advocate and the archived recording will be up later, so you can still listen even if you can't make the live session.

If you don't already know Jim's Small Business Advocate show and the accompanying website -- I've recommended it on this blog in the past -- now is a good time to go there and start exploring. Jim has an amazing inventory of archived shows, great advice, and excellent value. He's an excellent interviewer and he's been bringing in expert guests for 10 years now, five days a week, two or more hours per day.

Check out his archive.

Radio with Me Tomorrow Nov. 6

I'm going to be Anita Campbell's guest tomorrow on Small Business Trends Radio at 1:30 pm EST which is also 10:30 am PST and a couple of hours in between as well. There's a "listen live" link on the home page.

The topic is Plan as You Go Business Planning, my most recent attitude adjustment on the growing need for agile and flexible business planning that assumes rapid change and constant uncertainty. The closest thing to that already posted here is the Not so Big Business Plan post from a few weeks ago.

In Denver Next Week

I'll be doing two workshops next week at the annual ASBDC convention in Denver. It's taking place at the Hyatt Regency at the Colorado Convention Center.  SBDC stands for Small Business Development Center. There are about 1,000 of them in the United States. They meet around this time every year and I've been attending since 1995 and doing workshops since 1998.

• I have a three-hour session on developing business plans (and helping SBDC clients develop business plans) with Business Plan Pro®, Tuesday afternoon at 2 pm.
• And a 90-minute workshop on teaching cash flow, Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm.

If you're going to this year's convention please join me for either or both of these workshops.
