Hi G,

Thanks for the great articles.

I love a guy motivated by ego. They'll do crazy things:
Treat customers right
Offer value
Beat the entrenched with innovation

WHY - To become # 1 - Of Course !!!!ggg

These people don't do it for the money - Heck he and Gates both have more money than they know what to do with it all.

They do it to win - to be right / more right than the other guy.

Of course these intense motivation often turn out to be on the money as far as market share and acceptance are concerned.

Competition recreates new services.These services are customer focussed. This customer focus redefines those on top of their business.
This displaces those who are coasting and want to maintain the status quo.

I think Larry has a hardon for Gates that is inspirational. I like my money betting on a grudge win.

Go Oracle - not a bad day huh? hehehe

Thanks for the great posts - what are you trying to be ? Brian Kerecz of the Oracle thread.

Personally I nominate G !!

Bob

Sure hope he doesn't have some dumba$$ attorney from the Justice department go after him just because he is successful and offers small business value.ERGH
