Lesson #3: Develop A Habit Of Hard Work That Works
When Walter Davidson first heard about the attempts of his younger brother and his friend to build a motorcycle, he was intrigued with the possibilities. After helping the two youngsters assemble the parts they had fashioned, Davidson knew there was wealth of opportunities that lay ahead. He immediately quit his railroad job and moved back to Milwaukee, finding work as a machinist, in order to help build the business. However, in its early days, the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. did not have enough funds to pay the four founders. So dedicated was Davidson to the new company, that he continued to work as a machinist during the day, while assembling the motorcycles at night. This dedication and hard work was a trend that would become ingrained in the corporate culture of Harley-Davidson.

Liquid Gold: How Candler Turned a Drink into an Empire
“Every human life is made to fit some place, and there is a place for every life,” Candler once said. “The lives and the places are made for each other that they may serve the purposes of the God who made them.” In creating his billion dollar empire, Candler seemed to have found his fit in life. Today, it is estimated that nearly half a million times every minute of every day, someone consumes a Coca-Cola product. How did a young man with less than $2 to his name go on to create one of the most successful companies in America?

Acccccccelerated Learning: The [Remarkable] Power of Screwing Up
I had a chance to preview Dan Coyle's forthcoming The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secret of Skill in Sports, Art, Music, Math, and Just About Anything. In short, I thought the book was a marvel—explaining pockets of amazing talent, such as Brazil and football-soccer, and, based in part on new findings in neuroscience, turning conventional ideas about teaching and learning on their head. I'll have more to say when The Talent Code appears, and Dan, I hope, will consent to becoming a Cool Friend. In a rather trivial (however, not to me at the time) way I had a chance to practice parts of what Dan discovered—and was stunned at the efficacy of his findings in this small case.

Fail Your Way to Success
The selling profession is not generally considered a high-risk profession, yet salespeople face big risks every time they speak to customers and prospects. What do they risk? They risk uncovering the truth. They risk finding out their best customer has just changed the rules of doing business. They risk discovering the prospect with whom they have invested so much time doesn't really qualify as a prospect at all.

Focusing on the Outcome
Learn how focusing on the outcome, rather than your products and services, can help you connect with customer needs.
Are the only people that CALL YOU Telemarketers?
How frustrating is it when the phone rings, (RING, RING!) and you say to yourself; “great an opportunity I don’t have to chase!” Then the person on the other end of the phone opens the conversation with; “Am I speaking with the business owner?” and you realise, quickly, that it’s yet another (bloody) telemarketer! “Damn you telemarketer!” you say under your breath, as you politely tell them you’re not interested and promptly hang up.

HOW TO BE A TRUSTED ADVISOR
Imagine going to a heart surgeon and leading with “give me your best price on a triple bypass?” Madness! You just wouldn’t do it. Why? Because you want the best person for the job and you’ve probably gone to great lengths to research and speak with friends or associates who have been through a similar process or know others who have – in order to find the right information you need to make the right decision. The right decision is always - what’s best for you. The price is the last thing on your mind if you want the best result.

What is a Franchise

Values: The Importance of Walking the Talk
In the last few years most companies have recognized the importance of documenting their values. Some have gone to great lengths in detailing what would be ideal behavior but it is still the rare company who has leaders who actually walk the talk.

LEARNING TO HAVE FUN – EVERYDAY!
Even as I write the heading – it feels odd. Surely we don’t need to ‘learn’ how to have fun? Perhaps not. But I do know from the many people I’ve coached, having fun everyday is not something that happens very much. Having fun is often relegated to weekends, special days and holidays – and even some of these days aren’t much fun. This Tip looks at how you can increase the level of fun you have in your life.

What is There About You that You dont Want Anyone to Know
A Shadow Belief is the unconscious belief that influences our entire lives, tell us what we can and cannot do, while driving our behaviors.

Entrepreneurs, by definition, are risk-takers, people willing to strike out on their own in order to seize an opportunity and make a profit. But, for Li Ka-shing, the richest man of Chinese descent, risk should not be a part of the equation. Li is a self-proclaimed risk-averse entrepreneur and goes to any and all lengths to reduce the risks inherent in his actions.

It becomes a matter of deep commitment to do whatever it takes. Not only to achieve the goal, but moreover to eliminate that obscure obstacle that seems to constantly stand in your way. Questions need to be asked of yourself, but more importantly answered with the most brutal of honesty.
