My friend Thomas Frey has written a new piece that it titled “2 Billion Jobs to Disappear by 2030” and goes into what is changing in the coming years.
Here’s the take away:

As an entrepreneur you either have time or have money, but usually not both. Later on as your business grows you’ll trade time for money by allowing others to do things they are better at than you are to free you up to do what you do best. But in the beginning if you don’t have the money then you have to do things yourself. But how can you save yourself time and money? Let’s take a look.
Buy Templates. You can take a look at Brad Gosse’s magazine templates and purchase them and make the adjustments you need and then create the documents. He has some great ideas and flair for this thing called marketing. Getting his templates will save you time, especially as low the price is for them.
If you’re looking about what to do with your life, here’s a quick graphic for you.

Listening to a number of Silicon Valley discussions on and offline and their culture is one where you find the one thing they deal with over and over again is: how does one deal with failure.
The most basic question is: What do you call a failed entrepreneur in Silicon Valley? Experienced.
Anywhere else in the US and you have to change your name, move to another town, or your parents are embarrassed. In Silicon Valley after hearing about your first failure they ask, “What’s your next company going to be?”
The main culture should be innovation, that change is the name of the game, that leasing office space to 20 year olds is not unheard of, that taking a $2 Million dollar check and building a company around solving a problem is THE most important part of a startup culture.
It needs to be the same throughout the US, in schools and universities, businesses, and government institutions.

Having worked for many organizations and have now become a startup entrepreneur, today’s business mantra is that all organizations need to change, and more importantly, that change needs to accelerate.
If you don’t speed up, you’ll be “run over” by those that were behind you that are moving faster than you are or you’ll get left in the dust of those that you were following.
If you don’t speed up, you’re basically “done for.”
However, all speed and no direction is cause for concern, so there’s a problem with this need for speed when you hit the sound barrier.
When most people think of the sound barrier, they are reminded of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in the X-1 aircraft on October 14, 1947. But I’m referring to different sound barrier, especially when it comes to business, the barrier I’m referring to is the barrier of sound judgment.
I’ll be heading to the Creative Connections Meetup and their 2011 Trade Show today. It’s a place creative professionals showcase their talents and portfolios to anyone that has a need for their services. Not only is it hosted by creative entrepreneurs, but it’s for entrepreneurs that need their services. Come join us from 2 PM to 7 PM for many presentations and discussion.
