The CIBU Newsletter Spring 2010 is now available for download: Newsletter 2010 Spring (132)

‘Letters to a Young President’ by Dr. McManus is now available on Amazon.

You probably noticed, our website did undergo a serious makeover last week. I am sure everybody agrees that it was time for a change.

You can see the results of our efforts in front of you, and we hope this will help you to find your way around.

We did consolidate and reorganize all CIBU Online Properties at the same time. We think that this will also improve the usability considerably. Our news blog (news.cibu.edu) and our social-media-marketing blog (blog.cibu.edu) have been merged with our main Online Property at cibu.edu. The content formerly available on news.cibu.edu remains categorized as it was, this means http://news.cibu.edu/news is now availabe at http://cibu.edu/news. Most of the content formerly available at http://blog.cibu.edu has been assigned to the category “students” and is now available at http://cibu.edy/students.

We did set up automatic redirects, so if you have bookmarked a specific site our system should redirect your request automatically, you don’t need to worry about a thing. But we all know a perfect system does not exist, if you are running into glitches or if you have suggestions for further improvements just drop me a line at marc@cibu.edu and I will see what I can do to help.

CIBU had the honor to attend a conference of Sanford Fisch, the co-founder of the American Academy of Estate planning Attorneys, at the World Trade Center. His entrepreneurial soul touched all of us. Follow a brief but intense reminder to motivate us about how to achieve our entrepreneurial goals:

“It has been some time since I spoke to the group at CIBU.  I enjoyed sharing my experience co-founding the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys and some lessons learned.  There is something very special about speaking to students ready to embark on their careers and engage in the entrepreneurial effort.

The current economy presents new challenges and, in fact, many new opportunities.  Make sure you do not do what everyone else is doing.  Following the crowd rarely gets you to the top. Be willing to do what others are unwilling to do and, most importantly, take action on your goals.

To your success”
