Share your experience with a Tip Lists

.LotzaLists^TM enable you to assist other business owners

Some BrainFood is served in the form of Tip Lists containing insights, advice, and admonitions culled from the experiences of proven business leaders and thinkers. These gems of acumen are personally provided by expert sources or solicited from them by third-party "scribes."

Any relevant topic can be covered, no matter how narrow or specific, although most fall into one of four general categories: Becoming an owner of a business; successfully leading a business; profitably growing an enterprise; and harvesting the personal wealth a business represents.

Tip lists can assume any form, but the High Five List seems to be the most popular. A High Five List focuses on a narrow topic and contains only five items, so list creators must focus and prioritize; they must be on-point and succinct so that their contributed wisdom can be easily found and put to work. Written lists can be submitted via the form below or e-mailed as attachments to info@brainfoodtogo.com in the form of Microsoft Word files of PDF files. Lists can also be submitted in the form of audios (as MP3 or WAV files) or as video interviews (as MP4 video files). Find out more about the value of lists by clicking here.

Who can contribute?

Expert sources are list-creators who are personally experienced in a particular field of endeavor, like teachers, authors, consultants, professionals, SCORE volunteers, and business folks who are willing to share what they've learned. These list creators get great satisfaction from knowing that their hard-earned knowledge is becoming part of a valuable, timeless archive and that it will be put to productive use by other ambitious business leaders. They get deserved recognition for their efforts and experiences.
List scribes solicit insights from other recognized authorities. These list compilers include students, journalists, bloggers, publishers and researchers. They obtain their input from personal interviews, books, speeches, blogs, web sites, and other, often-overlooked caches of knowledge. Our dedicated "list rustlers" learn, make valuable personal contacts, get prominent exposure in the business world, establish visible links to their web sites, and gain professional recognition. It's a great way to wangle one-on-one meetings with movers-and-shakers … and to reward them with an important opportunity to help others.

Special benefits for student and employee contributors

Students can derive big benefits by serving as scribes. They can arrange interviews with “mighty moguls” to get their feedback on one or more list topics. In the process, a student can learn real-world lessons and make important contacts in the business world (and job market). Students can even insert links in their resumes to their list creations that are posted on the web! Interviewees, on the other hand, get a chance to share valuable experience, something they might otherwise be too modest to do.
Employees can benefit also. For example, a bottom-up request for assistance in compiling a list can afford an aspiring employee an opportunity to meet with more seasoned leaders in higher echelons of the company. It’s a great way to connect with a mentor. In turn, the leaders get opportunities to meet with and evaluate young talent within the business.

Most importantly, both list creators and list compilers get supreme “warm and fuzzies” from providing meaningful assistance to others. Everyone gets to share in the excitement of creating something that’s truly new and different.

Making contributions of lists to our BrainFoodBank can be both fun and personally rewarding.
