King of the Online Jungle: The Early Years of Jeff Bezos
| |
| When McKenzie Tuttle walked down the aisle to say “I do” to her husband-to-be Jeff Bezos, she thought she was marrying into a secure future. At the time, Bezos was in his 30s and serving as Vice President of an investment firm in New York City. It was a job he liked – and one that paid well – but Bezos couldn’t shake this crazy idea from his head; he wanted “to create the world’s most customer-centric company, the place where you can find and buy anything you want online.” That stable life McKenzie once had was almost immediately turned upside down when Bezos decided to launch Amazon.com. As fate would have it, Bezos’ small garage startup would go on to become one of the leading e-commerce sites in the world, with revenues exceeding $8 billion. |

Keys to Branding Your Small Business
| |
| During the 19th and early 20th centuries, a rancher would mark his cattle with a brand. This brand, depicting an image unique to his ranch, distinguished his cattle from another’s in the event of a broken fence. Branding, in today’s modern marketing world, operates much the same way. It seeks to distinguish a product or service from the competition and create a lasting impression in a prospect’s mind.

Your Brand of Leadership
| |
| What does a ‘brand’ mean? In simple and historic terms it is asserting one’s right to ownership. Think about cattle being branded on the plains of the ‘Old West’. What the owner is saying is, this mark is my mark and anything or any animal that wears it is owned by me or originated from my ranch.
Do you know what your leadership brand is? To develop your leadership brand requires you to know what you stand for. |

The Power of Recognition, Appreciation, and Celebration
| |
| Arden planted a 50-acre field of wheat that was now golden brown and very full for harvest. It was a sight to touch the heart of any farmer. Uncle Harry came to visit. Arden proudly took him out to look at the field of wheat. Harry looked around, put his hand over his eyes to peer into the distance, and asked "Is that a stone on the hill?" pointing to a boulder too large to move in the middle of the field. He said nothing about the field of wheat. Arden was crushed by his lack of enthusiasm. |
