In the past 8 years I got my fair amount of HRM experience and the main lesion I learned is that running a company involves a LOT of hiring, firing and personal relations. But what does it take to create a great team? Let's find out.

For the past month we have been very bussy working on the core principles of Beezway and we spent most of our time discussing what a Beez should be. The same way we know what a Tweet or a Post is and what it does, we also needed to figure out what a Beez is. In this post I will focus mainly on the anatomy of a Beez which is at the core of Beezway.

Reflections on a lifestyle business.

A few years ago I was fortunate enough, to be part of a new entrepreneurship education program called CEED Top Class. We were the first generation of "students" and the criteria to get on board were quite high. I remember we had to have at least 5 employees, 200k revenue and be in business for at least 3 years. All this just to make sure that all 25 of us were on the same level of experience.
One of the main focuses of the education program was to understand Venture Capital ( VC ) and to help us bring our business to the next level. During the first year of Top Class, I managed to understand what were the positive and negative sides of Venture Capital and at that time I drew the conclusion that we really didn't need, or even want a VC investment. At that time we were running a successful web design business, what was seen from the point of view of a VC investor as a lifestyle business. This means that we were not interesting enough for a VC, even if we wanted to seek an investment.

In the last 20 or so years we have largely adopted e-mail as a good productivity and communication tool for businesses. This has led to many positive changes in our work habits, but as a side effect it has become a big pain for everyone whose work is dictated daily by other people.

I had the domain beezway.com for a while now, even if it didn't have a real purpose. I didn't exactly know how to put it to use, but it was available and it was cool, so I took it anyway. Now that the blog is taking shape and I am starting to see this as a possible new venture, it is about time to start using the domain for what it is supposed to do. Now you can find my blog at blog.beezway.com and a simple welcome page at www.beezway.com. I will take the occasion to share some tips with you regarding domain names.
