I was a serious gamer back in the day (when I still had the time). I wasn’t as hard-core as my brother but I could give him a bit of a headache when it came to ‘beat ‘em ups’. My true love however, was for strategy games on the PC (think Warcraft, Age of Empires, The Settlers) and although I knew I shouldn’t have been so occupied with them ignored chores, battered body clock, life passing me by, etc), I just couldn’t bring myself to stop playing for a very long time. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled unto an article that confirms (in my mind anyway :-p) that the time I spent staring at my computer screen, clicking away like a maniac was not for naught. In this article, Collis Ta’eed (a very respected web entrepreneur) explains how the logic involved in playing strategy games could be applied to growing a business.
Don’t believe me? See for yourself here.
