80/20 Principle in Entrepreneurship
| |
| To work effectively and profitably in business our 20% input of work should yield 80% output.
1. Where is the 20% input in your daily work either at home or in business that returns 80% rewards?
2. What has to happen in your business to pay attention and focus on that best 80% return?
We should act on what inspires us. Sometimes unknown to ourselves, there is a power in us greater than our resistance. Because of this we should feed our inspiration and starve our resistance. Do not rob the world of what you have to share. |

What Will Your Transition Cost?

| Although culturally it may cost men to become introspective and to examine in some depth what's really important to them, the cost of failing to perform this kind of self-examination could be much higher. It cost you everything you hold dear. |

Goal Setting
| |
| If you have ever ridden a bicycle or driven a car (that should cover most of you!), you have probably noticed that you tend to go where you are looking. This also applies to other areas of your life. If you are focused on all the things that can go wrong when you try something new, there’s a good chance at least some of them will happen. |

Kings of the Road: The Beginnings of the Harley-Davidson Empire
| |
| They were simply two young boys fooling around with motors in their garage; William Harley and Arthur Davidson were childhood friends who loved fishing, but hated the amount of time it took to get to their favourite fishing spots. And so, they decided to create a motorized bicycle that would help them get to where they wanted to go faster. Their youthful experiments laid the foundation for what would later become one of the largest and last remaining mass producers of motorcycles in the U.S. Today, with over $1.5 billion in annual sales last year, Harley-Davidson remains an American icon and an example of entrepreneurship at its finest. |

2.5 Living and working in the urban informal economy: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Street vendors in Mexico City; rickshaw pullers in Calcutta; jeepney
drivers in Manila; garbage collectors in Bogotá; and roadside barbers in Durban
– those who work on the streets or in the open air are the more visible
occupational groups in the informal economy. The streets of cities, towns,
and villages in most developing countries – and in many developed countries
– are lined with barbers, cobblers, garbage collectors, waste recyclers, and
vendors of vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, snack foods, and a myriad of nonperishable
items ranging from locks and keys to soaps and detergents, and
clothing. In many countries, head-loaders, cart pullers, bicycle peddlers,
rickshaw pullers, and camel, bullock, or horse-cart drivers jostle to make
their way down narrow village lanes or through the maze of traffic on city
streets. |

Accelerated Learning
| |
| The most important aspect of learning is being proficient in how to learn. Once you can master this ability, no new project, language or situation will again overwhelm you. And once you possess the basic techniques then, like riding a bicycle, they will be with you forever, meaning ‘the world is your oyster’.

William Harley
| |
| Of all the truly remarkable small business success stories, the story of William Harley is one that inspires and moves people to action.
Born in Milwaukee, WI in 1880, William S. Harley became lifelong friends with his neighbor Arthur Davidson. The product of their friendship would impact several generations, inspire a strong subculture and in some ways a nation: the Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
In 1901 William drew up plans for what he called a "bicycle motor." In essence this was a small motor meant to be attached to a bicycle and propel it. No motors really existed at the time so all parts for this motor were handmade at a friend's shop by Arthur and Bill Davidson. This is starting from the ground up on the level of extreme.

From Basics to Mastery
| |
| Mastery of all the basics does not occur overnight. But with practice it comes very quickly - just like learning to ride a bicycle. Once you experience how it's 'supposed to work', how energy efficiency is 'supposed to feel', it's easier and easier to reestablish in a variety of circumstances. That's where mastery is achieved. That's where you and everyone in your business benefit from your mastery |

Do the Opposite....
| |
| I have never been a fan of "normal.” Even as a little kid I was drawn to things that were different. I wanted a bicycle that stood out from the crowd – not more expensive or even better – just different. I built my first car from the ground up so I could have something that would stand out. I moved on to college options that were different, completing bachelors and masters degrees with no debt. |
