Scott Berg, the Worldwide Media Director at HP, writes about the work that his group is doing with SEMDirector (my company) to change the way they do search marketing.

I don’t link much to other blogs these days, but Seth’s Labor Day post today was so good that it’s worth it:

Richard Branson doesn’t work more hours than you do. Neither does Steve Ballmer or Carly Fiorina. Robyn Waters, the woman who revolutionized what Target sells — and helped the company trounce Kmart — probably worked fewer hours than you do in an average week.

None of the people who are racking up amazing success stories and creating cool stuff are doing it just by working more hours than you are. And I hate to say it, but they’re not smarter than you either. They’re succeeding by doing hard work.
