The Black Sheep of the Family: Thomas Watson Jr.’s Early Years
When Thomas Watson Jr. stepped into his father’s shoes as president of IBM in 1952, he knew they would be hard ones to fill. Until not long before, Watson Jr.’s life had consisted in large part of drinking and partying. IBM had always been a part of his life, but only in the context of his father’s job. Was he ready to take the reins of this multinational company? Could he break out from his father’s shadow and create his own legacy?
Lesson #4: Never Underestimate the Power of Research
Ogilvy came from a background in research; in his early years he had worked for the world-renowned George Gallup Audience Research Institute, which he later called “the luckiest break of my life.” It was at Gallup that Ogilvy learned about research and its importance in advertising. In fact, research became so central to Ogilvy’s philosophy of creating advertising that when he opened his own agency in 1952, Ogilvy billed himself as Research Director.

On the Lighter Side
What a tough year. I am sure most of you are glad it is over. The recession has had an impact on every one of us. But, now is the time to look back and be grateful; grateful for who you are and who you want to become. December, unlike years of the past was very busy for me. This is only because in prior years I always took the month of December off. This year due to the tough economy that just didn't seem like a good option. So, I spent time in Cleveland, Dallas, Tampa and Montreal. I froze in Cleveland & Montreal, didn't take a coat to Dallas and should have and I went to Tampa during Florida's coldest temperatures in years. Over the holidays Tracy and I visited friends in South Carolina and got to see a calf born on a cattle ranch and took our dog to the ocean. (It was way to cold to even consider swimming.)

5 Tips To Make Sure You Don’t End Up An Accidental Spammer
The Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007has only caught one victim – Lance Atkinson who in December 2008 was fined NZ$110,000 for being part of an “international spam email operation” (NZ Herald 23 December 2008). But does that mean that a NZ business that isn’t part of such an operation can safely ignore it? The answer is no, because people’s tolerance of spam is ever decreasing and with that there is an expectation that legitimate businesses will have email policies in place which comply with the Act. Not to have one exposes you to prosecution but perhaps more importantly could seriously damage your reputation in the marketplace.
Lesson #3: Learn The Industry From The Ground Up
To this day, Fox still keeps a copy of his 1952 driving logbook in his office. It is a reminder of the days when he used to cart coal in the winter and soda in the summer around in the back of his used truck. That is, until he was 30 years old and “had six kids and 60 trucks.”
Sam and Mary Lauderdale, Mary of Puddin Hill
I was inspired to write about Mary of Puddin Hill's company in Greenville, Texas for Mazon Associates, Inc. December 2011 newsletter, Building Bridges as our company purchased client Christmas gifts from Mary of Puddin Hill for the second consecutive year. Surprisingly, it just so happened that Mary Lauderdale's 86th birthday would have been on December 1st, the original date scheduled for publication; thus, a quick edit reflected this change. Most of this article was written from internet research; part from first-hand knowledge from their daughter, Pud Kearns; and from other research. I hope you will also be inspired by reading about this company.
Learning to love the high dollar
The New Zealand dollar has risen rapidly since December last year. At the time of writing it was valued at just over US81c, which is up around 7.5 per cent from the middle of December. The New Zealand-US exchange rate is close to its highest level since it was floated in March 1985.
