Lesson #5: Tend to Your Team to Create a Company of Giants
| |
| Every so often, Ogilvy would send each of his directors a set of Russian nesting dolls, where inside the largest doll would be a small one, and then a smaller one, and so on. In the smallest doll, he would place a piece of paper that read: “If we hire people who are smaller than we are, we will become a company of dwarfs. If we hire people who are larger than we are, we’ll become a company of giants.” |

Making People Want To Buy Your Branded Product And How Your Competition Effects Your Brand
| |
| Believe it or not your competition is usually only one of the small stumbling blocks to your success—you are. However, that does not let you off the hook when it comes to the old adage of “Know thine enemy.” Actually, your competition is not always your enemy, sometimes they can be your best friend—especially if their product is good quality and their brand name is not well imprinted onto society's conscious. Anyway, whether they have done a poor or fabulous job of branding their business for success you need to take time to research and study them, so you can know and understand what makes you special and why people should want to buy from you instead of them. |

The Prince Charming Effect™
| |
| External measurements of Charisma can sometimes be interpreted as charm - although this alone does not create a Charismatic presence, which requires a strong sense of the person’s character, the essence of the inner person.

How to Get from 20 Million to 100 Million in Online Sales: Lessons from Agora Publishing
| |
| I was thinking a lot about the success of our competitors such as Centerpointe and especially, Agora Publishing. Michael Masterson is the founder of Agora. Earlytorise is one of Agora's mini empires, because Agora Publishing itself is a $100M company based mainly on internet marketing. Although they have physical products, the bulk of what they do lies in internet marketing or using internet marketing channels. I found it interesting because most Internet marketers don't get that big. Most internet marketers celebrate when they earn $1M a year. What Agora makes is almost akin to the direct marketing giants, the offline marketing giants like Boardroom and Weiss International. We need to start doing what successful businesses are doing, so I thought to myself, what is Agora doing that we aren't? |

The Good Part of Conflict in the Workplace

| Why do so many of us cringe in the face of conflict?
