Internet Entrepreneurship is a relatively new term that I have been hearing about for some time now. In an era where you could create your own internet service, attract visitors and create revenue by ads - entrepreneurship has become much easier than before. Writing facebook application, tweaking google search and writing a blog are examples of internet entrepreneurship.

In today’s post, we are privileged to have Rob Banagale, an internet entrepreneur and classmate, to write a little bit about writing an Iphone application.

MBA Tool #3 Negotiations

Negotiations - The art of  bargaining

We all do it. Whether with our boss when we ask for a raise, with our spouse when deciding where to spend the weekend (your parents or mine?) or with the realtor.

So we all have experience in it. Some of you might even think you’re good at it. But how can someone possibly know he’s a good negotiator? Is it going out of the negotiation with a good feeling? cutting the realtor price by 10%?

MBA Tool #1 - Project Management

Howdy,

Managing a project is a complex task and I am far from perfecting the process. However, Managing several projects in the past gave some perspective on the challenges involved in the various tasks around creating the project, getting buy-in from stakeholders, identifying and managing risks etc.

For me, there are two big types of projects: top-down or matrix.

Top-down: You are the manager of a project. The project has tasks, deliverables, deadlines and resources. You are personally in charge on the resources (people, budget ETC).

neck and back pain

Hello friends,

A quick and unsual post on neck and back pain.

In the last couple of days I’ve been experiencing annonying neck and back pain. This was probably caused by pull-ups, bad matress or computer related work (answer=all of the above).

Since I found a great article about solving this neck and back pain - I really wanted to share it with you. The link is http://www.drbookspan.com/NeckPainArticle.html and it is simple yet practical advise.

Tips for the international student

Hi there,

If you’re coming to the U.S. in a couple or months or so, you should definitely read the following article. This informal list of advice from was collected from many international students over the years. I hope it helps you as you transition to the U.S and to your college. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Things to take
1. Vaccines certificate from home (list of vaccinations taken) – so you don’t have to retake it here
2. A document of your driving insurance history(either from police at home or from your car insurance company) – so your car insurance will be cheap!

ideas for your company

ideas

Throughout my childhood, every now and then my dad and I would have conversations about making the world a better place. Sometimes these conversations would take place on the beach, on a traffic jam or during Kiddush. I estimate that out of the 1000 conversations or so — 100 ideas were realistic.

My approach back then was:
1. if it’s such a good idea, how come no one has thought about it before
2. criticize everything
3. be realistic

Bad approach. Due to that approach, I missed out opportunities that later in my life would become extremely popular and create profitable companies, examples include:

a real entrepreneur

so today’s question is: what does it really take in order to become a successful entrepreneur?

I came to Babson in order to master the art of entrepreneurship. I must admit that in one year I’ve learned more things that I will probably learn anywhere else. But I must also admit - that sometime during my first year, I began to think that maybe one cannot ‘learn’ how to become an entrepreneur - he must act as soon as possible.

My first words

Hello World.

That’s what programmers used to write on their first piece of code with a new language. If you mastered that - you can develop anything.

My name is Gil, I came from Israel to do my MBA here in the U.S.

Currently located at Palo Alto, California, I’m working as an intern in the strategy (product management & marketing) of a product.

I’m not sure yet what’s I’m going to post here - but I hope it’ll be interesting enough to be worth of your time.

Sincerely,

Gil David Allouche.
