Success Principle Turning a Deaf Ear to Nay Sayers
In life, we often encounter nay sayers and doubters. They might not believe in your dream or your ability. Sometimes your friends and family hold you back, out of their concerns for you.

Following a terrible performance by a young contestant, Cowell responded with one of his trademark criticisms. “My jaw literally – like a cartoon – must have hit the table,” recalls Abdul. She proceeded to tell Cowell that he could not talk to people that way. Cowell responded that indeed he could. Abdul countered, saying he could not talk to Americans that way. Cowell said that he could and he would and the conversation abruptly came to an end.

Security Theatre
Almost everything that happens before you fly on a plane is not as it seems. In order to deal with anxiety, the airlines put on a show. They've been doing it for a long, long time, and it's starting to show signs of wear and tear. The show is getting old and the lies are starting to show. Here's some snips from an Economist article (hat tip to the Freaknomics blog):
Event Marketing
Whether it’s a fashion show, a charity ball, or a local community sports show, hosting an event can be a great opportunity for small businesses to gain the visibility they want so badly. It doesn’t matter if ten people show up or ten thousand; if you’re able to convert those visits into sales, then it will have been a success. But, hosting a show of any kind is no easy task, and for that, it is crucial to become well versed in the best practices of event marketing.

Participating in an Overseas Trade Show
If you’ve ever organized participation in a trade show in the U.S., you know how much work it is!

Celebrating YOU: the Leading Lady of Your Show
You are the Leading Lady and director of your own show. You are in charge and fully responsible for how your show turns out to be. If your show is competing for the Academy of Life Award, which categories will it be nominated? Which awards will you win?
The Invisible Close Sales Nugget: Three Secrets to Success When Presenting to Women
Show how you've struggled and what you've overcome. You don't need dramatic food stamps or homelessness stories. I haven't experienced any of that, but I have plenty of stories of where I've tried, failed, and gotten up to try again. What you want is to show your underbelly, show that you are

Focus on the critical few.... rather than the trivial many!
Too many growth companies are overwhelmed by lengthy plans and the distraction of the trivial many. Their CEOs find themselves drowning in detail, solving the crise du jour but unable to focus on those few things that would make growth happen. Cast as heroes, they play brilliantly, but dismally fail the audition from actor to director. Great CEOs identify and pursue the ‘critical few’. They make hard choices, adopt an unreasonable stubbornness and ensure each team member is clear and accountable. They leave no fudge room.
