True Entrepreneurs...

Just to illustrate my point that entrepreneurship is context-independent, check out this photo from this weekend's flower show at Fairchild Gardens. Maybe it's just because it was a warm day in Miami and I was thirsty, but it struck me that those guys know how to sell water bottles!

UM Business Plan Competition

Sorry for the lapse in posts - when I started this blog I committed to myself to post at least once a week. However - as usual - reality intruded. In this case, reality took the form of the University of Miami Business Plan Competition, which I organize. It turned out to be a great event, with a group of very successful entrepreneurs and investors providing excellent advice and feedback to some very innovative and enthusiastic students who worked very hard on their plans and presentations. The fact that these students represent the next generation of business leaders gives me hope that we may work our way out of the current economic and political mess we are in after all.
