Accepting that some blue skies process innovation still goes on, it is more of a reality in our post-industrial landscape that the majority of activity is in fact services, even when it looks like manufacturing. And that is all about execution. <br>I declare to anyone who asks that I am building a world class consultancy day by day and seek significant scale. Sure, you may be able to climb past me up my particular Everest - but you will have to try very hard - and, anyway, there is room for a quite few of us at the top. Build friends and contacts - not doubters. Yup, with some rare exceptions, Stealth Mode is a declaration of something between naivety and arrogance.

Not surprisingly, I continue to debate this issue with entrepreneurs. Many still believe that they somehow need to “protect” their idea and in the process, do their idea a disservice.

And for the record, I'm totally cool with you “borrowing” the title from the OnStartups.com article.

Cheers,
