I read an article in the newspaper this week about multiple births following the amazing news this week of the woman giving birth to eight children this week. I have paraphrased the article below:
A woman gave birth to eight babies in five minutes with the last octuplets coming as a total surprise ! Its only the second time that eight infants have been born alive and survived more than a few hours.
The mother and her medical team had spent months planning for seven babies, but were stunned when the eighth was born. The six boys and 2 girls were delivered crying and kicking by Caesarean section in California. The babies were know as A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, weighing in from 1lb 8oz to 3lb 4oz.
Naturally we all wish them well from 4little1s.com and I am sure there will be plenty of Nursery furniture stores that would be keen to sponsor them !

MBA notes
If you work your way down the Forbes 400 making an x next to the name of each person with an MBA, you'll learn something important about business school. You don't even hit an MBA till number 22, Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike. There are only four MBAs in the top 50. What you notice in the Forbes 400 are a lot of people with technical backgrounds. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, Jeff Bezos, Gordon Moore. The rulers of the technology business tend to come from technology, not business. So if you want to invest two years in something that will help you succeed in business, the evidence suggests you'd do better to learn how to hack than get an MBA.”
Though Royse does suggest that the two breeds of businessperson may find some use for each other after all.
“Ask a first time entrepreneur with no experience – but a brilliant idea – to create 5-year projections with several P & L scenarios based on market variations. HA! That stuff still makes me sweat, but I can do it now, because my successful businessmen, MBA advisors, developed them with me and taught me how to do it, understand it and talk about it.”
The there’s four tips on “learning from eachother”. Obvious, perhaps, but useful.
1. Once you have a solid enough plan to not sound like an idiot talking about it, start looking for your board of advisors. I've blogged about this before, but this is when you find the really smart people and start asking for their help. (The smartest thing you can do is to surround yourself by really smart people who know more than you do about the things you don't know.)
2. If you bring in the MBA guy too early, you will possibly be setting both of you - and your company – up for failure. When there is a company to run – one with employees and revenue – then you will want all of the systems training and experience that you can find. Prior to that, you will both be fish out of water.
3. You cannot bring in anyone – much less a "big gun" – until you know exactly what it is that you need them to do for the success of the company. That means goals that can be executed and quantified so that you all know you are on course. No matter how much you like someone, if you don't know what they need to do, how they need to do it and on what timeline, you are setting yourself up for a slow and murky journey to nowhere.
4. No matter what, you have to be sure that you are all sharing the same vision. Nothing assures that slow and murky journey to nowhere quite like having everyone on a different path.
Royse sums up with a clichéd but apt observation. Though, perhaps RB just likes the phrase "balls-to-the-wall". It's got gumption.
“All of us with the MBAs and years of experience need to know that without the balls-to-the-wall dreamers nothing would ever change. All of us balls-to-the-wall dreamers need to know that very often, it's the process and dependability of the more traditional business folks that can actually execute on the plan.”

IVF tests
New IVF tests to double success rate
A British fertility patient has become the first woman to become pregnant using a new treatment which could double the IVF success rates. The 41 year old patient who has had 13 failed IVF cycles after doctors were able to test for chromosome abnormality inside an unfrozen egg, therefore increasing the speed and efficiency of implantation. This screening method has the potential to improve birth rates and minimise miscarriages said Dr S Fishel of Care Fertility Group in Nottingham.

Eight Babies
A woman in America gave birth to an amazing eight babies, she becomes the second person recorded in the states to have done this.
The six boys and two girls, who were nine weeks premature, were delivered by caesarean section in the hospital in Los Angeles, California.
The babies, who weighed in at between 1.8lbs (820g) and 3.4lbs each, are all said to be doing well.
They were screaming and kicking around very vigorously, a doctor said.
The mother, whose identity has not been revealed, has asked that limited information be released about the birth.
Medical team describe a 'successful' delivery
A hospital spokeswoman described the deliveries, which took place in the space of five minutes, as "truly amazing".
Three of the babies needed help breathing, but all were otherwise doing well, a doctor said.
The babies will be in incubators for at least six weeks and the mother is planning to breast feed them all, the hospital officials said.
'Just enjoy it'
The world's first live-born set of octuplets were delivered in Houston, Texas, in 1998.
One baby died about a week later - but the surviving children celebrated their 10th birthday in December.
Their Nigerian-born mother, Nkem Chukwu, said the new parents had much to look forward to, the Associated Press agency reported.
"Just enjoy it. It's a blessing, truly a blessing," Mrs Chukwu was quoted as saying. "We'll keep praying for them."
