Some say it's all about time.

60 seconds to the minute.

60 minutes to the hour.

24 hours to the day.

7 days to the week.

Time is fixed.

Just for fun, go lookup all the quotes about time.

What we do with it, ah, not so fixed, eh?

Here's my take on it.

You decide how to pass through your time.

Your life.

Your choices.

Enjoy.

And should your interests involve growing a company, building a career or advancing an idea, come have breakfast with us any Wednesday.

Chances are excellent that we can show you how to use your time having fun and making money in the process.

On This Day In History - April 10th
1815

Most powerful volcano eruption in 10,000 years

Heard for thousands of miles, the Dutch East Indies' Mount Tambora erupts with cataclysmic force, devastating everything around it with pyroclastic flows and ash falls. The eruption will significantly change the climate, spawning the "year without a summer" and causing global famine. 

1866
Cockfighting, slaughterhouses, and widespread animal abuse leads Henry Bergh to establish the  American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals , a group dedicated to promoting the humane treatment of animals
and enacting anti-cruelty laws.
1925 

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel will sell poorly in the years after its publication, but the Jazz Age tale will fare better after Fitzgerald's death in 1940, and will go on to become a staple for high school students in the US. Fitzgerald's story of lost romance, materialism, and the American Dream will resonate with readers for

decades beyond its disappointing debut.

1998
Three decades of conflict known as ' The Troubles ,' and two years of peace talks, are resolved on this Good Friday with the signing of a power-sharing agreement  between Northern Ireland's Protestant and Catholic populations.

Since 1983!

  A not-for-profit cooperative association of independent businesses, founded from an economic development research project on the
importance of small business development conducted by the
 Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's.

With our first Co-Op meeting held March 14, 1983, to date we've worked with 51,473 people, generating 44,054 tips, leads, referrals and items of new business, generating revenues approaching one billion dollars, founded the Entrepreneurial Development Center - Houston's first and Texas' oldest small business incubator, First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund - literally the first small business seed capital fund in Houston, the Womens Business Center - first business incubator for women business owners in the country and the
 Virtual Business Center - the first remote business incubator in the world - all totally 
without public funding, grants, gifts, donations or contributions.

Further, Co-Op companies have won virtually every award for business growth in Houston, some nationally and some even internationally.
 
Further, it was our Entrepreneurial Research Division that conclusively demonstrated "entrepreneurship" could be taught in a classroom environment, resulting in colleges and universities, globally, commencing entrepreneurial classes and courses.
