Houchin Consulting PLLC
I just posted a whole bunch of new workshops and seminars that I’ll be presenting for the Fort Collins/Larimer Small Business Development Center in 2008. Of course the dates and times may change a little, but it’s a pretty full schedule of topics from business formation, to copyright and trademark, to effective contracting.
You can watch the events calendar at www.guidingvalue.com or go to the SBDC Web site. All fees (something like $25/pop) are set, charged, and kept by the SBDC.
After some discussion with some people I really trust, I decided to change the title of the Strange Fire book from “Strange Fire: 5 Winning Principles” to “Strange Fire: 5 Guiding Values.” The reasoning behind the change is simply that the book is not really a winning v. losing book, it’s more of a discussion on values. And, since it’s posted on my www.guidingvalue.com Web site, it seems like a no-brainer. Duh!
The full text of the book is posted at both www.guidingvalue.com and my spirit-related blog site www.spiritcurve.com.
Enjoy.
2007 National Prospective Law Student Study
Once again I’ll be conducting a national market research survey of prospective law students. This will be the third such study I’ve conducted, the first was in 2004, the second was in 2005. Results from both studies are available for download at www.woodenpencil.com.
The study is free for all participating law schools. My firm creates the instrument, removes duplicate listings, sends the email invitation, collects, and reports on the data. Participating law schools simply provide their DIRECT INQUIRY email lists. LSAC rules prohibit the use of Candidate Referral Service email lists in market research projects. As a result, the only way to get a real national study of prospective law students is through cooperation among participating law schools.
In the past studies, the following law schools participated. Many have already confirmed their participation again this year.
Hamline University School of Law
Penn State University – Dickinson School of Law
The University of Cincinnati College of Law
The University of Denver College of Law
The University of Houston Law Center
The University of Southern California Law School
The University of Virginia School of Law
Washington University in St. Louis School of Law (St. Louis)
If your law school would like to be part of the study. Just email me and we’ll add you to the list. I’ll need the direct inquiry lists by the end of October.
I just posted the full text of the Strange Fire book to the guidngvalue.com Web site in HTML format. You no longer have to download a PDF to read the text. Of course, if you WANT to download the PDF, you’re still welcome to do so and share.
Enjoy. Or not. 🙂
I just posted an updated layout/file of the ebook over on the guidingvalue.com site. It’s a bit more printer-friendly.
