Entrepreneurial Inspiration: Jeff Bezos, Amazon and Earth’s “Blue Origin”

December 16, 2018 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

NEW YORK, NY - Jeff Bezos, the guy who built and envisioned Amazon, the largest and most successful online only shopping site, isn’t much different than your average entrepreneur.

He is very much human - and - certainly a hard worker. Bezos held several good jobs after … [Read more...]

June 26, 2018 By John Colascione 3 Comments

NEW YORK, NY – Nowadays, I read some much down-right bad advice and marketing hype spun-off as news that I actually feel it necessary when someone knows what in-the-world they’re talking about and actually offers ‘real’ advice to business owners.
