Our family just returned from a weekend of celebrating my husband’s Grandmother’s 90th Birthday
Fred Smith Has Lift-Off: The Beginnings of Federal Express
“By the early '70s when I'd gotten out of the service it was very clear that this new society was coming in earnest,” recalls Smith. “And so, at that point I said, ‘What the hell, let's try to put it together.’” After leaving the U.S. Marine Corps, Smith purchased a controlling interest in Ark Aviation Sales, a company that focused on aircraft maintenance. This was the first step towards realizing his goal of what would soon become Federal Express.

Andrew Carnegie Gospel of Wealth
In 1889, steel magnate and self-made millionaire Andrew Carnegie wrote an essay that would go on to change the way many of the world’s richest thought about their wealth and the responsibility that came along with it. “The Gospel of Wealth” was Andrew Carnegie’s attempt to infuse the business world – especially the upper class of self-made millionaires – with a new sense of philanthropy.
Taking Beanie Babies to the Bank: Warner’s Company Takes Off
Back in the U.S., Warner was now in search of the funds he needed to start his new venture. He placed a mortgage on his small suburban home and also set aside the $50,000 inheritance he had received after his father’s death in 1983. That, in addition to his life savings from his six figure income at Dakin gave Warner enough to found Ty Incorporated in 1986.

Waiting To Wait - Emerging From 2009
For those of you running or owning a small business and you survived last year, I’ve got news for you. Surviving 2009 and 2008 for that matter was a monumental task and I applaud those of you that are still viable. But if you were waiting for the economy to normalize so you can get back to doing business the way you had in the past, that just won’t work again. That being the case, your business could possibly be more vulnerable in a good economy.

The Secret to Increasing Business Results
There are many paths to being an entrepreneurial business owner, and many of them may feel 'accidental'. Somehow customers find you for something you didn't think of as valuable, or you fall into having a business through inheritance or just doing what's fun as a college kid that just kept going.

The Curse of A Lottery Mindset
In a recurring familiar episode of the so called "Curse of Lottery", Yahoo Buzz features story of a female teenager that won $3 million in lottery and lost it in just six years. In an article from AOL, Ms Rogers lamented that "I honestly wish that I'd never won the lottery money-and knowing what I know now, I should have just given it back to them". The atypical overt response of lottery winners, to the sudden win, in form of shock, crying, nervous breakdown and death exemplifies the lack of winner's mindset prior to affluent. Contrast these responses to Tiger Woods' response to winning another green jacket or Barrack Obama's reaction to winning the presidency..........

Born Into Luxury: How Howard Hughes Got His Start
“I’m not a paranoid deranged millionaire. Goddamit, I’m a billionaire.” While he was perhaps known more for his eccentricities and womanizing than his good business sense, Howard Hughes was indeed one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the 20th century. He managed to turn his $1 million inheritance into a $2 billion fortune. Equivalent to $6.6 billion in today’s dollars, Howard Hughes was and still would be considered one of the richest men in the world.

Write Your Own Story
I’ve spoken and written about leaving a legacy; what we as individuals do for the betterment of more than simply ourselves. However, what we all must realize is that a legacy is built everyday. It is built in the choices and moments that seem to have no consequence, the moments that are filled with tedious details, questioning and bouts with the reins of persistence as we do all we can to stay on track. A legacy is more than a trust fund or a inheritance, a summer house, or even a college endowment. Your legacy is the story of your everyday. What you do with the hours, minutes and seconds that you own, because they are your own.

LEADERSHIP MEANS BEING EXCELLENT AT ANY PLACE, ANY TIME
I've been playing tennis for nearly five decades. I love the game and I hit the ball well, but I'm far from the player I wish I were. I've been thinking about this a lot the past couple of weeks, because I've taken the opportunity, for the first time in many years, to play tennis nearly every day. My game has gotten progressively stronger. I've had a number of rapturous moments during which I've played like the player I long to be. And almost certainly could be, even though I'm 58 years old. Until recently, I never believed that was possible. For most of my adult life, I've accepted the incredibly durable myth that some people are born with special talents and gifts, and that the potential to truly excel in any given pursuit is largely determined by our genetic inheritance.
How to have financial conversations with your parents
Having a will and a final plan in place is recommended as soon as we enter into adulthood. Or at the very least, when a major life event has occurred such as a marriage, birth of a child or maybe even an inheritance. As depressing as tackling issues related to our own mortality is, it’s a given and it’s better to deal with these issues sooner rather than later.
