"One Hit Wonder No More"

by Larry Chiang The “One Hit Wonder” monkey can be tough to shake.  Many entrepreneurs that have a mega hit get caught up in celebrity. Andy Rubin was at risk of becoming a cliché one-hit wonder.> > He is on the verge of shaking that stigma with the new Android Google TMobile phone. MG Seigler, Venture Beat, is reporting that he spotted one in San Francisco that was running an Amazon music application.  Rubin on the future of mobile “Let’s say you have a piece of software on your phone to improve power management (and therefore battery life). Let’s say a developer makes an improvement to the software. The update gets automatically installed on your phone, without you lifting a finger. Your phone actually gets better over time.” - Andy Rubin on future proofing phones. Source: Android Guys Apple Reaction: Sources from Asse9 (Austin Secret Society of Entrepreneurs 9) place Steve Jobs in Andy Rubin’s office the third week of May. He met with Rubin for over 90 minutes. I have zero idea what they said. My text message to Rubin's cell phone, that also ends in two 0's, has not been returned. The cell I texted him from is 415-720-8500. Releasing ahead of schedule: TechCrunch is reporting that the phone will be released before the earlier October 23 date. As founding member of Asse9, I wish Mr Rubin much success. I hope I lose my one hit status someday too.  I founded duck9 to graduate college students with a FICO over 750 using text messages in fourtune cookie sized tips. I write for GigaOm’s Found|Read. Earlier posts include: How to Work The Room; Man Charm; 8 Tips On How to Get Mentored ; and 9 VCs You’re Gonna Want To Avoid. I recently did an 8 hour interview of Mark Cuban in a post called “How to Go From Millionaire to Billionaire. Ten tips from 8 hours with Cuban.”

Bio
Hi there, I am Larry Chiang--I had friends who were in credit card difficulty and decided to do something about it. I started collecting deep underground credit knowledge (duck) into a controversial site: www.Duck9.com.
It breaks-down the mysterious FICO score and graduates people with a FICO in the 90th percentile. SECRET: The key is to make the first 24 interactions with the FICO grid PERFECT… email me and I’ll send you the 101 secrets/tips or you can explore the secrets yourself by clicking on the ducks butt at duck9. I wrote the NY Times bestseller: "What They Don't Teach You At Stanford Business School". Its a book about sales, entrepreneurship and character compassing people. My mentor, Mark McCormack wrote, "What They Don't Teach You At Stanford Business School" My writing centers around mentorship: whether you’re building a business or improving your credit score, it is easier to do with a mentor. One of my proudest achievements was to testify in Congress on behalf of the financial services industry. Congressman Tom Campbell also wrote the foreword for my last book, "Internet Marketing Secrets" that I co-edited with Gerri Detweiler. I try to hide the fact that I am old—thank goodness I am Chinese cuz my wrinkles aren’t here yet. When I crash campus gyms to play basketball, I lace my hair with mucho product so people don’t see my grey hair. In addition to playing basketball, I love to write, coach entrepreneurs, and sneak into dorm cafeterias. Invite me to your house for dinner and I’ll entertain with stories of credit… my email is chiang9@duck9.com |
