Homeless But Not Hopeless: Millionaire Chris Gardner’s Early Years
Chris Gardner wears a $10,000 watch on each wrist. On the right hand is a Cartier set to Chicago time, and on the left is a Roger Dubuis set to South African time. “I was late once and it cost me $50,000,” explains Gardner. “I figure it was cheaper to wear two watches.” For a man who not too long ago had only two suits to his name and could not even afford to pay rent, Gardner has come a long way. From living on the streets and bathing in public restrooms to owning a successful multi-million dollar stock brokerage firm, Gardner is living out the American dream.

“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is - In Our Businesses Today?”
The title of this article is derived from the title of a very popular 1960s song by the band, Chicago. It is also a question that needs to be asked in our businesses today. Do you know what time it is in your business when it comes to how much time is wasted in business each year? The best answer is probably, “Time to stop wasting time!” It has been reported that the average person spends 150 hors each year looking for misplaced information. Wow, talk about a time waster! Think about the magnitude of this type of lost time when accumulated over all our businesses and organizations. What would happen if you and others in your company spent those 150 hours doing something productive? Imagine what could be achieved. Okay, let’s list a few thoughts that hopefully will stimulate your imagination to determine what you can do.
LET PEOPLE BUY THE WAY THEY WANT TO BUY
Excerpt: I was on the phone today in front of class and had a great call. Again it was a 20+ minute call and here are the key details I remember. As an aside, I am a big believer in quality calls measured upon the results produced from the amount of talk time rather than a sheer number of dials. I was cold calling on a very well known and large publisher in Chicago. I called into the headquarters and nailed down the CEO, CIO and VP of IT Infrastructure and none of them were in.

My Retail Furniture Business Closed - Now What?
For 17 years I owned a small group of retail furniture specialty stores in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. I sold exotic furniture from all over the world, unusual decorative accessories and art. The retail stores were like mini-museums with price tags, and we had a great following. I got used to working long hours in my stores, so when I was forced to close them I was left with lots of time to figure out what to do next. The solution I found was in a different industry...

Rallying a Revolution: What We Can Learn From The Chicago Blackhawks
Whether you’re a hockey fan that was rooting on the Flyers or the Blackhawks this week – what the Chicago Blackhawks have done to turn around their franchise in 18 short months is nothing short of staggering. Just think if your business had faltering success… since 1961. Your clients no longer show up, having lost all enthusiasm for you and your brand. It sounds like the perfect opportunity to throw in the towel, call it a day, and cut your losses. But what if you decided that instead of giving up, it was time to reignite the passion that your clients and supporters once had for your business, and reclaim the success you once had? Could you take the lessons taken from the Chicago Blackhawks franchise and rally a revolution around your business?
The Turkeys We Send To D.C.
You've heard the old joke, the one they tell every year at this time: "Know why they aren't having Thanksgiving in (Chicago)? They sent the turkey to Washington!" Usually, the quip refers to the president - any president - but lately, all the elected federal officials from both parties have been particularly turkey-like....
