Daily Thoughts 04/30/2013
This morning on the way to work, I read a little more from Vote Yes for Libraries. The authors are describing how to set up a budget and a calendar for a ballot initiative. Some of the items they discuss are lawn signs, buttons, bumper stickers, going door to door, and the importance of mailings for library campaigns.
I also read a little bit more of the Lean Entrepreneur. The authors are discussing how to test a product cheaply and update a product quickly. There are numerous case studies of a couple pages throughout the book. This ranges from gourmet pizza to motor vehicle prototypes to internet startups. This book is not just for software companies.
I checked the displays this morning and am checking the monthly statistics. I also checked the Facebook and Twitter for the library.
On the way home, I finished reading the Lean Entrepreneur. It is a completely overview of the lean philosophy in entrepreneurship. A lot of it is about how to build a startup inexpensively with a lot of bootstrapping. I also read another chapter of Vote Yes for Libraries. The authors are writing about the importance of volunteers.
