Case in Point: How Steve Case Achieved Success
“I focus less on looking back and more on looking forward,” says Case. “That was all interesting. It was a great journey for 20-plus years. Some ups, some downs but overall a great experience. The question now is ‘What’s the next journey? What's the next challenge?’” From selling fruit baskets in college to ranking on Forbes’ list of the wealthiest Americans, Case had come a long way to create a company that would soon become a household name and go down in history for its impact on people’s lives as well as its multi-billion dollar merger. Just how did this boy, who once dreamed of becoming a rock star, become the successful entrepreneur that he is today?
Lesson #4: Stop Chasing a Lost Cause
If one thing above all else could be said about Luce it is that he was an ambitious man. No matter what the task at hand, Luce hated to lose. Indeed, his parish priest described Luce as “a man of unlimited imagination who reveled in hard facts; one who could be gruff with the mighty and relaxed with little children; a thinker who could see all sides of a question and yet make a quick and implacable decision. To talk with him was to shift the mind into high gear, for his was never in neutral.”

What I am talking about here are people who ask for your product for free.

How to be a high performance leader
The subject of leadership is the quintessential conversation of our generation, particularly at this time of great social change, commercial and political unrest. I believe leadership, [being a leader] to be a character trait, not simply a title you bestow upon a person or entity, without significant reason and evidence over an extended period of time. True 'leadership' is the ability to inspire action through ones own actions. This feat is not as easy to achieve as the definition suggests. Easy in theory - but ever challenging in practice.
