The increased prevalence of service industries over the last two decades has made this the fastest expanding sector of the economy. The service sector, as defined here, includes the major industry groupings of trade, finance, insurance, communications, public utilities, transportation, and government, as well as business and personal services. And it accounts for almost three-fourths of the Nation's employment. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Entrepreneur-Things.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Entrepreneur-Things.html Entrepreneur Things Entrepreneurs ( I need to share this with you) do the most ridiculous things. (I’m not going to name any of those things here because I don’t want to hurt the feelings of the dumb entrepreneurs who thought them up) But, I’m sure you know what I mean. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself the question from time to time, “What in the world was he thinking?” Well, that’s the subject of this morning’s blog. (It’s morning where I am, and I woke up with the thought that I needed to get this out of my system, off my chest, out of my mind, so here goes.) http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/I-cant-help-but-wonder-if-I-were-born-in-any-other-time.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/I-cant-help-but-wonder-if-I-were-born-in-any-other-time.html I can’t help but wonder if I were born in any other time… …how different my life would be today. If you were to ask the very same question, I am sure you would discover some remarkably interesting answers. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Organizing-For-Growth.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Organizing-For-Growth.html Organizing For Growth It has been a long time since I read the most extraordinary business book I have ever read, Organizing For Growth by Theodore Levitt. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Throwing-Caution-to-the-Winds.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Throwing-Caution-to-the-Winds.html Throwing Caution to the Winds I am often asked whether entrepreneurship comes easy to me. The answer is yes and no. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/The-Exhilaration-of-Intention.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/The-Exhilaration-of-Intention.html The Exhilaration of Intention I just had an amazing realization during a keynote address I gave to the Chabad of California annual rabbis’ conference. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Sorry-to-have-been-away-so-long.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Sorry-to-have-been-away-so-long.html Sorry to have been away so long Yes, I do apologize. To be frank (right now I wish I was anyone but me, yes, even Frank) I have been on the mend. The last tour just about wiped me out and then this nasty speaker’s curse, the curse of the throat, plagued me for weeks. Harsh, cough, gravel, hurt. All of that and more. Which of course affected the rest of me…will I ever be able to speak again? Oh, my goodness, is this it? Am I on my way out? Weak, weak, weak. You get my point. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Have-you-read-Banker-to-the-Poor.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Entrepreneur-Advice/506/Have-you-read-Banker-to-the-Poor.html Have you read Banker to the Poor?

I apologize for my absence.

Even after it’s done it isn’t finished. It lingers in you for a long, long time. Even then, after you think it’s gone, it isn’t.
