12 Thinks I Know About Business

The COW has now passed the 1.9 million monthly unique visitors marker and is also nearing 8 million pageviews a month. About a third of these pages are found in our Library. So, as we drive hard towards the 2 million visitors a month marker and 8 million pageviews a month, we thought we'd ask some of the COW's leaders in the offices and on the forums to tell us their personal favorites in the COW's huge Library.

When asked his favorite article, COW CEO, Ron Lindeboom said, "Nick Griffin's '12 Things I Know About Business at 55, That I Wish I'd Known at 25' is one of the best reads in the Library and is the first one that comes to my mind. In this article, Nick looks at many of the valuable things that he has learned about running Griffin Communications, a full production and post production company based in the Washington DC Metro area.

Nick has traveled the world working on a wide range of production projects for some of the top companies around the globe. In this article, you will see some of the valuable lessons that Nick offers from his wealth of experience in building a successful business.

What are your own favorites? Write us at favorites@creativecow.net and let us know. Who knows, you may be the next COW Leader or member featured in the newsletter.
