Oprah’s name read backwards, Harpo is a television and film production, magazine publishing and online media company in one. “I did this to really expand into the areas I wanted to and take over the show to create more time for me to do features and TV specials,” she said.

Lesson #4: The Name of the Game is Profit or Perish
In Subway’s early days, DeLuca maintained a close watch over all of his expenses, making sure that they were always kept to a minimum. He also made sure that he never ran out of money; he knew that a cash flow crisis was one of the top reasons why businesses failed. He was personally in charge of opening Subway’s first nine stores. But as Subway’s franchises began to multiply and its revenues soar, DeLuca came into a different kind of crisis, one that he had not been ready for.

PDF Your Board Package
Thankfully I no longer get fedexed binders of board packages from my portfolio companies in advance of a board meeting. Through the modern miracle of email, the board packages show up in my inbox – hopefully a few days (rather than a few hours – or even minutes) before the board meeting. The board packages tend to show up in three different formats – one that is easy to deal with, one that is ok, and one that sucks.

A Gazillion Tweets, but What Makes the Cash Register Ring?
Tweeting gets consumers all fired up. YouTubing is what a pries the credit cards out of the billfold/purse. Facebooking is where it is at to bring seller/buyer together. Blogs have the real street cred where serious people go to find out the scoop. Robust web sites are an absolute have to if you're going to be serious about separating a consumer from his/her dollars. If you think consumers are confused you should be on the other side of the desk! Marketing people are having a helluva time efficiently and effectively reaching the buying public -- corporate and individual -- to sell hardware, software, solutions.

Contain The Complainers!
Great leaders don't assume that they know all the answers or what the future will hold. They don't want to miss out on the next big thing and their culture tolerates, and even rewards, complaints. Keith R. McFarland writes in his book, "The Breakthrough Company", that one of the characteristics of the $250M rapid growth companies he examined is that the leadership was very tolerant of dissenters and even let people pursue ideas for new business even when they thought they were wrong.

Buying a Franchise Versus Starting a Business
Starting a business can be an exceedingly rewarding endeavor.

Just Because You Are Impatient Does NOT Mean I Have To Move Any Faster
Have we evolved into beings that have become so selfish and self absorbed that we have forgotten about our own self control? The ability to keep your mental, emotional and physical being, in check, requires self-control. The inability to do so is a sign that you are "out of control." When you easily lose your self control, you will most certainly fire off outbursts of anger, temper and blame on others.
What You Control
You may not be able to control if your job gets cut, but you can control whether you're a high performer who your boss is fighting to keep. You may not be able to control how quickly you get another job, but you can control the number of daily contacts you make in your search and how you "show up," future-focused, at the interview. You may not be able to control the amount of work you get, but you do control whether you're responding as a victim or taking action toward developing your skills and contacts for a new future.

Success Strategies- The Power of Positive Thinking
Is there a key for people who achieve success? Our thoughts are something that we have complete control over. They are the one thing that directly leads to our success or failure. Here are a few strategies you can immediately implement to keep you on the path of positive attitude achievement.

Check Your Ego at the Door
Managers by the nature of their duties have authority over employees that report to them. How the manager exercises this authority defines them as a manager or leader of people. Leaders control their ego, in most cases, managers do not and it takes a confident person, secure in their abilities to control their ego. Ego, for our purpose of discussion is defined as and elevated inaccurate self-image of importance and using that idea to coerce an employee to complete their command.

Are you following a Sales Process?
If not, you are not only wasting your time, but you are also losing sales because of it. You think you are in control but in reality you are out of control. Have you ever been rejected? If your answer is yes, you have just proven that you are not in control of the sales process; however, the buyer is in control. Isn’t it your job and responsibility as a sales professional to qualify the prospects and to reject them if they are not qualified? Who is really qualifying? Who is really in control?
How These 5 Mindset Shifts Can Help You Start and Stay As an Entrepreneur
Stop blaming economy and take complete responsibility for every thought you think and action you take. However much we may try, it is impossible for us to change any one or the, circumstances. Make a commitment to stop blaming economy, people and environment. The only thing that you have complete control is your THOUGHTS. This is easier said than done.

There are many things that will distract us from being successful and happy with ourselves. Sometimes we think in our minds that we are somehow lacking in a certain capacity, or that a task is virtually impossible to complete because of circumstances beyond our control.

The Secret to Feeling in Control During Times of Change
For most of us, the thought of having control over life inconveniences seems like a great idea; wouldn’t it be great to control traffic, the weather, our family or neighbors? However, rather than actual control over our environment, what we really want is simply a sense of control, to feel like we’re on top of things. This can be achieved by choosing to accept challenges for what they are, setting a clear intention of what we need to do and finding the balance between our level of ability and the challenge presented. By learning to consciously reframe even the most chaotic situation, you’ll find that feeling “in control” is less about making life go according to plan, and more about your ability to focus on what you can control.
Assessing Our Ability to Influence Others
In our personal and leadership development workshops we often conduct a 'degrees of control' exercise. We ask participants to come up with examples in the following areas: 1. Direct Control; 2. Influence; and 3. No Control. While there's often lots of debate and not always full agreement, examples under No Control generally include things like the weather, the economy, natural disasters, freak accidents, and the like. Discussions about my degree of Direct Control usually boil down to just one thing - me. However, some autocratic people fool themselves into thinking they have direct control over their teams, kids, or people reporting to them. Many other people are quick to surrender to the Victimitis Virus and declare they have no control or even influence over the behavior of anyone else.
