Henry Ford on Startup Ambition: Are you in the 5%? « Unicornfree

More excertps from Amy Hoy reviewing Henry Ford”s “autobizography” My Life and Work (full book) On advancing employees, Ford wrote:

There is no difficulty in picking out men. They pick themselves out because — although one hears a great deal about the lack of opportunity for advancement — the average workman is more interested in a steady job than he is in advancement.

It’s easy to pat ourselves on the back when we read a passage like this: Hey, I’m gonna do a startup. I’m gonna self-nominate. Hey, Ford says I’m special!

But…

Scarcely more than five percent, of those who work for wages, while they have the desire to receive more money, have also the willingness to accept the additional responsibility and the additional work which goes with the higher places.

Web Analytics 101: Definitions: Goals, Metrics, KPIs, Dimensions, Targets

Avanish Kaushik provides some simple definitions, graphics and examples for common web analytics terms.

Here are the filtered key points:

Business Objectives:
This is the answer to the question: “Why does your website exist?”
Or: “What are you hoping to accomplish for your business by being on the web?”
Or: “What are the three most important priorities for your site?”

The objectives must be DUMB: Doable. Understandable. Manageable. Beneficial.

Goals:
Goals are specific strategies you’ll leverage to accomplish your business objectives. Do x, increase y, decrease z

Metric:
A metric is a number – a count or a ratio (typically seen in columns). Number of visits, unique visitors, pageviews.

Key Performance Indicator:
A key performance indicator (KPI) is a metric that helps you understand how you are doing against your objectives. Example: One of bestbuy.com’s KPIs is “Average order size”.

Targets:
Targets are numerical values you have pre-determined as indicators success or failure. Continueing his example above, target for the KPI of Average Order Size is $90.00.

Dimension:
A dimension is, typically, an attribute of the Visitor to your website (typically seen in rows). Keyword, referal source, location, campaign, web browser, screen resolution, activity (played video, posted comment)

Segments:
A segment contains a group of rows from one or more dimensions. Examples: Visitors from a specific location, visitors who spend over X minutes on the site, visitors who click more than X pages, visitors who searched a specific key phrase.

Buffers, windows, and tabs | Arabesque

This post provides a good overview of some basic vim concepts. effectively using buffers, windows and tabs makes using vim much more efficient.

Buffers

A buffer in Vim is probably best thought of for most users as an open instance of a file, that may not necessarily be visible on the current screen.

Windows

A window in Vim is a viewport onto a single buffer. When you open a new window with :split or :vsplit, you can include a filename in the call.

Tabs

Finally, a tab in Vim is a collection of one or more windows. The best way to think of tabs, therefore, is as enabling you to group windows usefully.

Henry Ford on Bootstrapping, Funding, & Going Public

Amy Hoy reviews excerpts about bootstrapping, funding and going public from Henry Ford’s autobiography “My Lifea nd Work”.

“The most surprising feature of business as it was conducted was the large attention given to finance and the small attention to service. That seemed to me to be reversing the natural process which is that the money should come as the result of work and not before the work…”

“… My idea was then and still is that if a man did his work well, the price he would get for that work, the profits and all financial matters, would care for themselves and that a business ought to start small and build itself up and out of its earnings.”
