What I learned from Kawasaki speech at Skolkovo

Yesterday Guy Kawasaki had a speech at my Alma Mater.

My friends asked me. What NEW can that OLD man can teach?

Some common words of success? 

In the style - If you want to win - you should cannibalize your business? (like ice-makers did)

Common phrases that everybody should use his chance? (like Kawasaki didn’t at Yahoo)

Common words that success consists of 50% of luck? (like his equal identity to Jackie Chan)

So what have I learned from that?

I noticed that attendants very actively buy books (Kawasaki books).

I asked my friends - who did that also?

- Alexey showed his 3, somebody showed his 1 book, someone else his couple. And 3 mine were quietly laying in the backpack…

Why do we buy so many?

So many equal items?

For one use...

Why not to create a private group on Usarium, post there one copy of each book and share, coming to classes? It isn’t so hard to bring a book, that your friend asked to read, yeah?

Except Kawasaki - we can post there other our books - Steve Blank, Bob Dorf, Eric Ries, Alexander Osterwalder, Ash Maurya...

Need something specific like Economical Equilibrium by I.Kuntsevech? - use the social search, ask friends who have.

Some say it’s too complicated to use app for book sharing.

Let’s see…

You need to choose the left menu to Add a private group (have a look at the screen shot). Name & describe it, add your stuff and invite friends to do the same via FB, Twitter, WhatsApp, E-mail or plain E-mail.

It’s easier than to run 1 ring on the stadium..

But if you can cannibalize your own lifestyle - you will receive much more opportunities to spend the forthcoming weekend. Beyond the books, there are many other toys to share...

Yours,

Oleg Manchuliantsev

P.S. For those who normally want more…

Many of us need to find ideas to develop during academy. Some need it and after.

I’m that lucky guy, that managed to find, develop & raise the money during SSA-3.

Want to learn my method?

Let’s make a small hackathon.

Within 4 hours I will show you:

1. How to find perspective trends and available resources (believe me - you know everything - you just need the tool how to derive it from your head) 
2. How to develop new business ideas.
3. How to evaluate ideas.

Who interested - pls. jot here: http://bit.ly/19pl5uw

If we gather 24 person at least - I find the place (Skolkovo?) & synch the best time.

If somebody can help with coffee - let me know. 

Cheers!
