Well done Miguelito! Keep it up. As Lord Nelson said, “Be proud of what you have done. Now go do better!”

“Master Entrepreneur” Moniker A Great Signpost Along My Business Journey
By Mike Maddaloni on Friday, June 13, 2008 at 06:00 AM with 8 comments
For several months now, selected blog posts from this blog, The Hot Iron, have been republished on the Business blog of Ashworth University. It features posts from its students, faculty and people around the globe in various disciplines. I was honored to be asked to be included as a guest writer. Reading the blog on a regular basis, I am among a company of excellent thinkers and writers.
One of my recent posts on choices made at Toscanini’s Ice Cream in Cambridge, MA was posted on the blog this week. They made a slight change to the title, and it reads, “Master Entrepreneur Mike Maddaloni Asks: Should Entrepreneurs Reach Out To Their Customers For Help?” My initial reaction – wow!
Thanks to the people at Ashworth for this great compliment. I have often said everyday I learn something new about running a business – some things are better than others. As this is a on-going venture, it truly is a journey, and I consider these kind words a great signpost along this journey.

That’s really impressive Mike. I definitely think things could have turned out very differently for the ice cream shop had they just been open to their customers and asked for help.
I recall the story of typepad asking for donations to keep them afloat during their early days.
Comment by As I’ve said before, it’s truly been an honor to share your perspectives with our student community. We’ve gotten so much positive feedback from students representing all “walks of life” about your blog posts. Our students really seem to connect to the entrepreneurial vision and sense of integrity that informs your business philosophy. Thanks for everything!
Comment by Hi Ryan - You’re welcome! I am glad to hear this is truly a “win-win” and that Ashworth is seeking to compliment its curriculum with world resources.
