OfficeXpats Tuesday@Noon August Workshops feature Michael Fountain: “Productize What You Know” — This BBC Friday, Michael Fountain — Director, Channel Development (marketing focus) at Parallels, a global leader in hosting and cloud services enablement and cross-platform solutions — will give an overview of the August OXp workshops. “Michael Fountain helps Entrepreneurs and Experts Design, Build, Deploy, & Market Software Solutions and Information Products online” (michaelfountain.com).

Michael On LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/michaelfountain): I’m a serial Technologist with a strong passion for designing and developing software applications. I love productizing ideas and really enjoy helping businesses improve the customer life-cycle through software automation. I’m also considered a ‘full-stack’ Entrepreneur, which simply means, when I identify a problem, in most cases I can design the solution, develop it, deploy it, scale it, market it, and create a profitable business out of it…. Wayne Gretzky once said, ‘You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take’. Here’s to always taking the shot!” (More info on the OXp August Workshops at officexpats.com/productize-what-you-know).

Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all businesswise!
