The Forbes Factor
| |
| This past week, I had several speaking engagements and a broadcast event on the East Coast. My travels ended up in New York City, and as I always do when I have extra time in The Big Apple, I called to see if my friend and colleague Steve Forbes had a few minutes to spare. Mr. Forbes' staff graciously adjusted his schedule so we could spend some time together.
After discussions of our individual books and businesses, the talk, as it often does, turned to the economy. Steve Forbes is a great person to talk to if you want to rise above the minute-by-minute gloom and doom predictions from the media and get an overall perspective on the economy and the opportunities that lie before us.

The Forbes Formula
| |
| Over the last decade, I have been fortunate and privileged to develop an ongoing friendship with Steve Forbes. We first worked together in 1999 when he was producing a book entitled Great American Success Stories. After that, I began visiting Mr. Forbes in his office on each of my trips to New York City. Over the years, we have had many wonderful conversations sitting around the table in the library on the second floor of the Forbes Building. I have often wished I could include the readers of my books, those who watch my movies, and you who read these weekly columns in those wonderful discussions with Steve Forbes.
