I am calling Wayne Liew “hot dog” today because he is on a roll. He has been tearing down the house with some phresh baked posts on his blog recently.

In a recent post he published entitled ‘9 Alarming Reasons to Outsource’ he breaks Outsourcing down like legos. This blog post is in simple and approachable language that ANYBODY familiar with the term Outsourcing or not can relate to.

So peep the post  http://bit.ly/ZdPIz and tell me what you think. While you are on his site be sure to check out some of his interLiews (I branded him with that name today) with Teen CEO’s. I call him the Oprah of Malaysia ;-)

And furthermore if you totally dig his work be sure to connect with him on Twitter @wayneliew (Don’t let that Morgan Freeman Bruce Almighty Avatar sike you out, lol) or if you feel really Renegade today, subscribe to his weekly blog updates. Until next time-

Keep it real and keep it moving!

Learning to Fall by Bryce Maddock, Founder of Task US

 

In yoga, one position I can’t master is the handstand. Every week I am put to shame by the 50 and 60 year old yogis who effortlessly toss themselves in and out of the position. Last class, as my frustration surged, I took it upon myself to ask one of the handstand masters, “How did you learn to do that?”

 

“I learned how to fall,” she responded.

 

This lesson applies to business and life: In order to truly succeed one must be willing to fall. We all know people who are too afraid to fall. Unwilling to take risks, they never get off the couch, never pursue the guy/girl they are attracted to, never escape their mind numbing 9 to 5 job. 

 

If you are an entrepreneur you have already demonstrated a willingness to take a big risk. However, simply being willing to fall is not enough. Ultimately it is a numbers game. The more risks you take, the more you increase your chances of success, but the more falls you have to be willing to take as well.

 

This is why the most successful entrepreneurs have fallen many times. Russell Simmons launched the now defunct website 360 Degrees of Hip Hop. Richard Branson was forced to sell off his prized possession, Virgin Records. The Donald has lost fortunes on multiple ventures, and even went bankrupt.
