The Self-Assembled Billionaire: Ingvar Kamprad is Born
While he may not be a household name, the company that Ingvar Kamprad founded certainly is. IKEA is the top home furniture retailer in the world, with over 90,000 employees working in its 200-plus stores, and annual revenues in excess of $10 billion. Indeed, next to the Bible, the annual IKEA catalogue is the most widely distributed publication in the world. From his humble beginnings in the south of Sweden, Kamprad has used his entrepreneurial drive to become the richest man in the world, with a net worth of $28 billion.

Lesson #2: Become An Expert
Whether it was sewing lessons from his grandmother, shopping trips with his mother or an apprenticeship with the esteemed coat manufacturer Dan Millstein in the New York fashion district, Klein knew that if he was going to succeed in the fashion business, he was going to have to take advantage of every single learning opportunity that presented itself. Known for his dedication to his craft, Klein often sacrificed much of his personal live to improve his skills and increase his chances of succeeding professionally.
Lesson #5: Believe In Your Dream
When Thomas was 15 years old, he wrote an essay for school called The Pursuit of Happiness. In it, he wrote, “When I was eight years old, I dreamed that I would one day own the best restaurant in the world. My restaurant would serve great tasting hamburgers made just the way you like them, and all of the customers would love the food and come back again and again.”

Calvin Klein Bedding
There are some who would argue that your bed sheets are the most important part of your room. While soothing to the sleeper, they can also refresh – or damper – the entire room. That is why they come as varied as the people who buy them. From classic white to prints and plaids, bed linens range not only in colour and pattern but also in price. The untrained eye might not realize it, but the material quality and thread count of your sheets goes a long way in determining how much you’ll be paying for them. And, if you look at the upper end of that scale that is where you’ll find Calvin Klein bedding.

Lesson #2: Put a Little Magic into Your Thinking
When Rowling first approached publishers with her manuscript about a boy wizard, she was welcomed with a barrage of criticism. Many of those criticisms she could do little about. For instance, how could she make her story less fantastical when the very concept behind it was all about magic and wizardry? But there were other criticisms that Rowling took to heart and tried to fix. After all, she knew success was often times much like a game; if you wanted to reach the end, you had to play by the rules.

Social Media Marketing - 7 Ways to Explode Your Authority
Have you ever asked yourself if social media is important for you business? The answer is without a doubt YES! You can say whatever you want, but in the end of the day people choose to follow you as a leader. They don't really care about what the product is or what the opportunity is all about. If people see you as a authority and as a person with real meanings and true values, that what they are going to buy in to.

No Need To Downsize The American Dream
Personally, I don’t need to watch TV to hear bad news. So, much for the American dream. I hear enough at the grocery store where everyone is talking about all of today’s gloom and doom. It’s everywhere.
The Stuff That Creates Growth In Your Franchise Biz
I recently read that there are approximately 13.7 million people unemployed as of April 2009. 3.7 million of those have been jobless for half a year or better (27 weeks or more). It is no wonder why so many have begun to turn to franchising or small business ownership as an alternative. We all have grown weary in the workplace of the lack of security and even-handedness in the career market.

You Have the Right to Age...Grace-fully!
You Have the Right to Age Grace-Fully! When did America become a nation afraid of aging? I worry about what we're teaching our children about growing old and our acceptance of aging...with grace...fully! I remember my beautiful grandmother. When she laughed, the world sang! She didn't have silicone breasts or a botoxed forehead, and when she gave me a kiss it didn't feel like it came from a swollen sucker fish! As a grandmother myself now, I think the best aspect of aging is perspective. It allows you to approach life with grace. I am much calmer now and seem to have more

Your learning/self-improvement process is probably obsolete
I don't know enough. The pace of change in the world of sales, sales management and consulting is such that my traditional process for learning simply can't keep up. I know you're in the same boat. Guess what? We can help each other.
Leave a Lasting Legacy or Be Completely Forgotten
Do you know your great grandfather? How about even his name? If you are a grandfather right now, do you ever talk about your father to your grandchildren? If not, then why not? Was he not an important man to you? I ask these questions now because I guarantee nobody has ever asked you these before. In today's politically correct, "everybody is special" society, you have been forced to think only in the present moment; to think about what satisfies you today. So I challenge you to think differently for a few minutes as you read on, and open your mind to the possibility of building a lasting legacy for you to be remembered eternally.

Why Women Entrepreneurs Differ from Men
“Many people perceive a style difference as the other person’s personal failing.” Deborah Tannen Have you noticed? Women and Men aren’t just dissimilar below the neck. They often act and express themselves differently as well. That is due to changes in an entirely different area than below the belt. It is their brain, which is located above the neckline. In general, she says “slow” and he says “go.”

Enthusiasm Makes all the Diferrence
In business, as in every venture in life, the common denominator of success is Enthusiasm. No one ever became a success by mistake. Ethusiasm is the key to winning in sales, marketing, sports and all human endeavours. Included in this article is a little excercise that is designed to be read aloud in a group (or alone in front of a mirror) with prizes given to the person who delivers the most enthusiast presentation.

Tales of a StomperNet and Jeff Johnson “Student”
I’ve spent some significant time this last week studying material on SEO from StomperNet and Jeff Johnson. Brilliant guys, with very different styles. Now, let me share with you some quick thoughts about my experience going through what both of them offered.
The State Of Happiness
Happiness is often thought of as a state of mind. This assumption is both right and wrong. It is right because when you are happy, you usually have happy thoughts in your mind. You have a positive outlook and your mood is generally elevated. Your outlook on life is one of hope and abundance.

Know Your Market
Whether you are starting a new company, launching a new business initiative or spinning out a company, the first and most important thing you must do is know your business. I think there are two constituencies that you have to convince, other than yourself. First, you have to know your business concisely enough so that you can quickly explain it to your grandmother; so that she understands it. The second is you have to comprehensively explain it to sophisticated investors so that they are convinced it's an attractive investment. If you can do this successfully, you understand the business.
Venture Capital - Preparing The Plan
Make it so that your mother or grandmother can understand it. Entrepreneurs too often fill their business plans with of acronyms, tech terms, and buzz words. Intermediaries can usually tell after the first paragraph how difficult it will be to raise capital for your business. Condense what you do and what you want into a statement that you can make very promptly in seconds or minutes. If you cannot communicate quickly, you will lose the investor’s interest.
Master Success By Having an Open Mind to All Those Possibilities
Are you seeking success? Then you must determine your possibilities.

It's Only A Money Problem: Solve Your Business Problems, Not The Symptoms
Ida, my Prussian grandmother, loved talking with friends and family. Once, after listening to a friend’s woes, she said, "Oh, it's only a money problem!" Her friend sat stunned for a minute and asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, there are health and money problems. A health problem only God can help with. A money problem is fixable by humans."

Grandma’s Lesson
Thanksgiving this year was a fabulous family affair. We had the entire crew of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. including dogs and cats romping around my aunt Cherie’s house. My grandmother was there cooking up a storm despite having had brain surgery to remove a tumor just nice months before. What a woman.
