The Ultimate Bunny-Hop: The Rise of the Playboy Empire
Hefner was now unemployed and had just $8,000 to create the magazine of his dreams. He used $75 to purchase the rights to the never-before published nude pictures of Marilyn Monroe, before she had become a star. Ignoring the legal risks, Hefner decided to feature the photos on the cover and in the centerfold of his first issue. Named Playboy after a sports car that was struggling to get into production at the time, Hefner was not optimistic about its success. “On the first issue we put out we left the date off [December 1953] so that, if it didn’t sell right away, it could stay on the news-stands until it did,” he recalls.

Succession Planning – How to Plan for a Changing of the Guard
In business there has been a lot of talk recently about baby-boomers looking to retire and who should they hand over the reigns to. This succession planning debate is great – but it neglects the general successions that happen all the time in business. By this I mean the sort of succession that happens: • When a manager goes on holiday and someone steps into their shoes to fill in while they are away • When someone gets promoted or transferred to another role • When someone resigns

How to Own a Business, Instead of a Job
Every business is owned by someone who took on a risk with their time and money. So I believe that person should be rewarded. Too often as business owners we forget to enjoy ourselves. We forget that we deserve to be paid far more than any of our employees. Every week for week after week we are often challenged financially. We work 60 hours or more a year and possibly take a few weeks holiday when business is quiet and customers aren't buying. If this sounds familiar I am about to reveal exactly what you have been looking for

HalfFULL
When a whole lot of things are not going your way, it can be quite difficult to find a bit of optimism, seemingly impossible, in fact. But hold on, do you remember the old "is the glass half-empty, or half-full" adage? Well, it serves a dual purpose. If you find yourself thinking that "the glass really is half-empty," it serves as a wake up call to the need for an attitude adjustment. On the other hand, if you think "the glass is half-full"--then you've just touched on another of the natural laws, the Law of Polarity. The fact that everything has an equal and exact opposite.

Is Your Glass Half Full or Half Empty?
We often hear people talking about whether someone's glass is half full or half empty, which is really a metaphor for how someone views their life or the world around them. If someone is negative or pessimistic, people might regard them as seeing their glass half empty. When people view their glass as half empty, they are looking at what they don't have instead of what they do. If someone is positive and optimistic, people would say they see their glass as being half full. Half of their glass may be empty, but they choose to look at it as half full. They are seeing what they have instead of what they don't. Which type of person are you? Do you see your glass as half full or half empty?
