The Greatest Show on Earth: Barnum Soars to the Top
| |
| In 1836, Barnum met Joice Heth, a woman who would change the course of his life forever. Heth was blind and almost completely paralyzed, but she could still speak, and what she was saying sparked an idea in Barnum. Heth claimed to be the 161 year old former nurse of George Washington. Barnum was intrigued both by her story and by the possibilities presented therein. If Heth could catch his attention, how many others would be lured in by this oddity as well? |

CES 2010 – Look Good, Act Assured, Play Loud
| |
| It is so easy to get swept up in the excitement, the presentations of CES. This
year was no exception because there was an event-wide feeling that things are
improving and that the PC, CE, communications industry has not only rebounded
but is set for a number of years of solid growth. Watch the presentations and
it is almost easy to believe that the world really does evolve around us. There
are still challenges mixed in with the opportunities. There are sound ideas and
products amidst the noise and sometimes it is difficult to see which products
and product categories will be immediate hits and which will take months (or
longer) to gain traction. We looked at them all and give you a different look
at which will rise to the top...and when.

Master of the Show: P.T. Barnum is Born
| |
| The Fiji Mermaid, Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker, General Tom Thumb the Midget – besides being considered “freaks”, they all had in common one man, P.T. Barnum. He was a master showman whose rise to fame came in the 19th century thanks to his traveling “freak shows”. But Barnum was more than that; he was above all else an entrepreneur and a highly successful salesman. Barnum knew how to get people talking. Today, the legacy of his work lives on in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, still billed as ‘The Greatest Show On Earth.’ |

Finding SelfWorth
| |
| Dear Jane,
I know I'm self-critical. But how do I stop? My self-esteem is at about a zero and the lower it's gone, the worse it seems others treat me.
In my self-help book, Enough Is Enough!, I talk about what it’s like to hang out in Courtroom Earth vs. the Classroom Earth. In Courtroom Earth, we act as our own judge, jury, and executioner. Most of the time, we don’t even realize we’re doing this to ourselves. What about you? Do you beat yourself up for everything? Do you compare yourself to other people? Do you find yourself being driven, addicted to more and more evidence to prove that you are worthy? Then do you end up tired, resentful, frustrated, short tempered, with an even greater urge to control and do?
