			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On iTunes, I recently came across one of the best TV documentaries I have ever seen: &#8220;America: The Story of Us&#8221; by History. It is an awesome 12 hour documentary depicting 400 years of US history from the first settlements in Jamestown to present-day America. What makes it so special is that it really brings across the heart of the American entrepreneurial spirit and the American self-reliant soul. If you are any interested in history or present-day politics, watch this. I promise, it will change the way you look at the US. (Actually, any so-called European intellectuals with very limited understanding of America should be forced to watch it.)</p>
<p>Apart from movingly bringing across the values of the American Dream and what makes the US so special in terms of entrepreneurial mindset, the documentary will teach you some great facts. Here are three of the many things I learned about American history:</p>
<ul>
<li>The invention of wire-mesh fences by a smart farmer killed the cowboys (BTW: who&#8217;s job was not shooting around wildy <img src='http://www.timmarbach.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> , but rather driving cattle north to first railroads.)</li>
<li>The rapid installation of the telegraphing network helped Lincoln win the Civil War</li>
<li>2007 one in eight (!) Americans was born abroad.</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the interviewees makes a great statement: &#8220;We are an optimistic people. We believe the future is our friend&#8221;. Who would say this about Europe or Germany where innovation &amp; change are both constantly being fought against instead of actively engaging and shaping the future.</p>
<p>Get it on iTunes <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTVSeason?i=367693704&amp;id=365964537&amp;s=143441" target="_blank">here</a> (you&#8217;ll need an US iTunes account, easy to set-up, just google it). It&#8217;s split into 12 45-min episodes, which makes it hard-working people friendly. <img src='http://www.timmarbach.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>There is also a free sneak preview available or watch this American TV trailer I found on youtube (the sneak on iTunes is better though):</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We founded kaufDA about two years ago. Our communications department has now beautifully summed up those two years of hard work in a great video featuring a couple of the greatest milestones! (German only, sorry)

But that&#8217;s only the beginning. There&#8217;s much more to come in the next two years. Watch out.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ich bin gerade zufällig über ein Interview von Stefan Glänzer und Malte Brettel gestolpert, das <a href="http://www.venturetv.de/malte-brettel-stefan-glaenzer/">Venture TV</a> im Rahmen des IdeaLab! 2009 (wo <a href="http://www.kaufda.de">wir</a> auch Sponsoren waren) an der WHU aufgezeichnet hat:<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XGbagQ5dKps&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XGbagQ5dKps&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
Sehr sehenswert, dabei die besten Zitate von Stefan:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Es kann nicht der Anspruch sein von der WHU und allen Studenten, die hier hinkommen, die zu der Top-Elite Deutschlands gehören, und man sich ausschließlich Gedanken macht, was kopiere ich jetzt. Dafür ist das Potential hier zu groß, dafür ist der IQ hier viel zu groß und dafür sollte der Anspruch, von allen die hier auf dem IdeaLab! sind größer sein.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Und wie finde ich denn meine Idee? Besser als Malte Brettel kann man es nicht formulieren:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Man muss den Drive haben es wirklich zu machen, sich nicht beirren lassen und dann auch wirklich im Dreck wühlen. Wenn man zuviel drüber nachdenkt und nicht einfach einmal rausgeht und es ausprobiert, macht man einen großen Fehler.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Ganz meiner Meinung: Die meisten Leute werden nicht Unternehmer, weil sie keine Ideen haben, sondern weil sie nicht den Drive haben und den Mut sich aus ihrer Comfort Zone herauszubegeben.<br />
Was die beiden auch ansprechen: Augen offen halten und Makrotrends beobachten. So sind wir damals auch auf die Idee zu kaufDA gekommen.<br />
<strong>Also: get your hands dirty und bloß nicht Lemming sein!</strong></p>
