Brain Storm Business Podcast: Lessons Learned from Steve Martin, sponsored by Commercial Creation Center

Thursday, November 20, 2008

In today's Brain Storm! Business Podcast, we will look at lessons learned from the autobiography of Steve Martin.

I have a love for biographies, either business or celebrity. I don't go after current pop-icons, but older entertainers who have been around the block. Their lives offer lessons anyone can learn from, and I realized last night, that they offer great business lessons as well.

Entertainers are Entrepreneurs too.

If you think about it, they are in the business of promoting themselves. That is what an entrepreneur does as well. We promote our product, service and ourself (if we're smart). Well, Steve Martin's autobiography has some great lessons in patience, persistence and innovation - the same things that make a great business person.

These are 5 lessons you can learn, and in the podcast, I go into details of Martin's life and how we can apply these lessons to our own businesses:

  1. There are NO overnight successes.
  2. Timing is everything.
  3. We start by borrowing, but become successful by innovating.
  4. Sometimes the best ideas arise out of problems.
  5. Sometimes the best ideas need to be dropped.

I'd love to hear feedback from you. I've added the podcast to FriendFeed because it allows commenting, and have posted a place for you to comment on episodes at http://www.BrainStormBusinessPodcast.com. Let's see how it works!
