Entrepreneur Inspiration 2017 ENTREPRENEUR INSPIRATION ##### ##### ##### Roger James Hamilton !1 www.geniusu.com Edition 2 Welcome Hello, A few years ago, I began writing and posting images and stories on Facebook that inspired me as an Entrepreneur. Early in 2015, I put them into a Facebook album. The album went viral and has now been shared over 400,000 times and the different stories within the album had also been shared a combined 1,000,000+ times across different social media channels. In 2016 I published the stories into an ebook. With the number of new stories in the last year, it was time for a second issue. That’s what you’re reading right now. Here is the link to the Facebook album. Here is the link to the download page. If you have chosen to subscribe by email, you’ll get links to my stories. And you can subscribe to my FB profile, to get my new posts on your FB newsfeed. As the Founder of Entrepreneurs Institute, Entrepreneur Resorts and GeniusU, and as the Creator of Wealth Dynamics and Talent Dynamics, my mission is to support the entrepreneur movement. I’ve made this book free so it’s simple to share. If you are inspired by the stories within it, share the album and stories on Facebook, and share the link to this download with your entrepreneur friends.

  • LSS 911 GUY KAWASAKI I Am Fundamentally an Introvert. Even Though You Make Seventy-Five Speeches a Year?
    LSS 911 GUY KAWASAKI I am fundamentally an introvert. Even though you make seventy-five speeches a year? Hard to imagine; yes. So, I am thrust into an extrovert’s role of being out there speaking to thousands of people, and all this kinda stuff. But, you know, where extroverts would love to have dinner with … the other speakers and would love to interact with the crowd, and would love to, you know, do all this kinda stuff, I hate that. This self-described introvert is a highly successful entrepreneur whose voice on social media is followed by ten million people around the world. Hawaii born and raised Guy Kawasaki, who’s now lived longer in Northern California than he did in the islands, next, on Long Story Short. Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox is Hawaii’s first weekly television program produced and broadcast in high definition. Aloha mai kakou. I’m Leslie Wilcox. Guy Kawasaki says he’s a Kalihi boy at heart, a kid from Kalihi Elementary who segued to prep school Iolani, then headed to a West Coast Ivy League school, and made a name for himself in Silicon Valley, marking the Macintosh for Apple. He’s a visionary who saw the power of the computer to change lives before many others did. He’s a venture capitalist, author and speaker, business advisor, and social media guru. Kawasaki credits some of his success to an English teacher at Iolani School. How was that, the entry into Iolani? I don’t remember it being particularly traumatic. [CHUCKLE] I had a great time at Iolani, and a great time at Kalihi Elementary.

This shift to “local 2.0” has given birth to “local listing sites,” an emerging social medium that converges the content of traditional Yellow Pages, consumer-generated content and the interactive features of social network sites. Such sites harness the productive power of “prosumers,” the hybrid subjectivity of new media users who simultaneously produce and consume online content (Tapscott & Williams, 2006). These sites capitalize on the productivity of users who create discourses through and about local consumption by voluntarily rating and reviewing local businesses and services, challenging the power of institutions traditionally responsible for the production of consumer culture and reputation management (e.g., local business owners, marketers, advertisers, professional critics).

III Abstract In the wake of the #MeToo era, gender equality has successfully gained a bigger space within public discourse around the world. However, tech startups, supposedly one of the most innovative industries to lead our future, are still heavily male-dominated, with a study in 2017 revealing a meager 17% female ratio in Silicon Valley startups that have less than 100 employees (Bradshaw & Kwong 2017).
