I can’t think of a good title for a talk I’m giving next month (drawing material from this site about Barriers, The Myth of the Great Idea, etc).
Can you help?
Here are my 2 tentative titles:
The 5 Secrets of Personal Entrepreneurship:
How to Start a Company or Run a Project Better Than Anyone Else-or-
The 5 Secrets of Personal Entrepreneurship: How to Play the Game Better Than Anyone Else
Both of these are kinda lame. Do you have any ideas? I’ll give a prize to the person who makes the winning suggestion.

You could just say, “Personal Entrepeneurship: Doing Everything Better than Everyone Else”

But there’s no real need to say “5 secrets of”, in my opinion.

Five Gems for the Personal entrepreneur.
Personal Entrepreneur: Five Secrets to have the edge.

here are my last hurah:
Personal Entrepreneur: The Rule of Five Truths

Dan Burgin’s idea is pretty neat too though.
